Overheard over my shoulder on Saturday 9/13, about 4:00 p.m., as I was buying my ticket for "Burn After Reading" at the Sebastopol Theatre,
A sweet young girl/woman's voice:
"THANK You" ....
"For Everything" ....
car or van door slams, vehicle drives away
(now less sweet, with a hint of sarcasm)
"in my life" ....
(now sotto voce, with a bit of venomous final emphasis)
"that Sucks!"
I cracked up, laughing uproariously, turned and saw a 12-14 year old blond with her friend both grinning mischievously.
I asked her, "Have you ever told him, or her, that to their face?"
"No", the teen replied, just a tiny bit chagrined.
"You should!!!" I replied enthusiastically and laughed some more.
Had to share it with the cashier at Patisserie Angelica and some neighbors in the theater. And now the world of waccobb.
I don't have kids, I no longer teach adolescents. And moments like the above make me both grateful, and nostalgic!

P.S. "Bonk, Bonk. Bonk the Grups!!" (Any Star Trek fans reading this?)
