Well, I know I’m blatanly ripping off the Overheard in New York people, but I have to share this:
My Beloved and I were sitting in a booth Saturday morning, having breakfast at one of our “spots.” A few moments after we arrived, three women were seated behind us. One was a new mother, toting her new baby carryall basket thingy, complete with new baby inside. She proceeded to take him out and make him “stand” on the table for her poor, captive audience to “ooh” and “ahh” over.
I couldn’t see this since my back was to them, but I was getting the play-by-play.
But I could hear THIS, clear as day:
Friend: Wow! He looks like a little monkey!!
Mom: WHAT?!
Friend: Well, you know, in a GOOD way.
I confess — I turned around to look at the wee babe.
He DID look like a little monkey.
And NOT in a good way.
Well, yes, but like 99% of new babies look like monkeys. It’s the dirty secret that everyone thinks and nobody says. Of course, my new nephew looks nothing like a monkey, and is, in fact, 100% pure precious.
-M@
that is sooooooo funny.
laugh out loud funny.
i am so glad i wasn’t there, i would have made it worse, for sure.
I know, JM, we were both dying! How do you look like a monkey in a good way?!
ha!
i will confess that dillon DID look like a little monkey. but if anyone had said it out loud, it better had been while they were running AWAY from me!
