A Different World

Here is a converstation between two women that I overheard while standing in line at CVS in Laguna Beach, CA.

Light Brunette: Good to see you! What have you been up to?
Dark Brunette: We've been looking for a house.
LB: Are you seeing anyone?
DB: Yeah, I'm going out with this 53-year-old guy.
LB: Wow, he's 3 years younger than me.
DB: Oh, really?
LB: Yep. I'm 56 years old.
DB: Really? Did you do botox?
LB: Nope, no botox, no surgeries, not even one.
DB: No botox?
LB: No. And, I smoke, too. See I'm getting two packs right now. And, these are double Ds (pointing to her chest); all mine. They come with bigger hips, but what can you do? So, you guys are looking for a house?
DB: Yes, he just got a ring; two stones; one goes to the left, the other to the right, very simple. He got it last week, so I'm waiting. I don't know when he's going to give it to me, maybe next week.
LB: How exciting.
DB: It is. You know, I have to put the kids through college somehow.

Just Like That...

Klaudia started sleeping in a big girl's bed. No fuss, no crying, no complaining, no trying to get out of her room; all that time spent worrying how she'd take it - wasted.
