The Other Side of the Booth





"He's late we are going to miss our nap"
"We are so ghetto, they will never know..."
" Do you like American girls?"
" Do you like young girls like us?"
"Are you upset now?"
"Does she wax?"
"I already have a child I don't need to have kids"
"Maybe? Maybe he's different?"
"OMG?"
Wth? Okay the last one was my comment. I was at lunch with a client discussing upcoming projects that I may have the opportunity to bid/work on. We had finished our chips and salsa and we were working on our entrees when I asked what my next blog should be about. We both looked up at the same time and smiled while listening to the comments already mentioned above. That was followed by the title of this blog. I think it's fun and entertaining and yes a little voyeuristic. I know we have all listened to conversations going on close to us. Don't even say that you haven't.
Some of the conversations have been very funny, some sad and some just plain crazy. Today was one of those crazy ones. Well at least to me 'cause I'm not a early twenty something year old girl. They may have been cute but "OMG", like where are their heads at?" was all I could think.
Everything was about "me", not me but the person who was talking. And "like", "like this" and "like that" was almost every other word out of her head. And some of the questions discussed at lunch in a full restaurant "Does she wax?" . This question was asked by a girl to a guy to find out what he liked about her. And those of you who know me know that I am not very conservative but wow... again really?
So what do I say next? My head is still shaking back and forth wondering if it was all true.
After giggling for for a little bit with my friend we got back to work stuff. I was still curious to see what these people looked like. I saw them as they were leaving and I could only think "omg" and "like really". They could have came off the set of "clueless" or straight from the valley. Enough said.
So the next time you are talking with your closest friends, clients, or people you just met remember... Someone could be listening or even writing about what you said. And I know that I will be writing again under the same title and I am already looking forward to it.
