Overheard in Panera

posted Apr 24, 2008

A group of kids is having lunch with their parents and their aunt, when the conversation steers toward what Mom looked like when she was a teen.

Mom: "I look better now than I did in high school."

Kid: "Mom, were you fat?"

Mom: "Yeah, I guess so. Thanks for asking."

Overheard earlier at Panera. Yes, we spend too much time there.

The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up.
