    Overheard in the Used Bookstore Today

    June 18th, 2008 by knorby

    I was in MrKay’s today, the used bookstore where I have purchased so many of the DVDs I own (I am back in Oak Ridge until the weekend). Anyway, I overheard a pretty awesome conversation between two high school-aged girls, who were looking at some CDs. I should note that my taste in music differs greatly from the average high school-aged girl, so please forgive anything I miss. Also, this whole thing is heavily paraphrased, but nothing important is taken away.

    • Girl 1: Looking at some CD. God! Maria Carry is so dumb! Look at her album, she put “E=MC²” on it. I start listening closer. I bet she doesn’t even know what that means!
    • They blabber for a bit. I assure you it wasn’t worthwhile.
    • Girl 2: Yeah, it’s like Maria Carry times two or something!

    Her Friend corrected her, but the damage had been done. I headed over to the cash register pretty quick, so I wouldn’t laugh at them. I should really get better at storytelling….
