overheard over the holiday
(or four opening lines, in search of a story)
"Of course, you've heard the story of the New Orleans Fern Society, haven't you?"
(John's friend to a rapt audience)
"Oh, you should have just seen her corpse. Who ever did it did a beautiful job.
(My mother to me, over Christmas dinner.)
"His mother was a world champion bridge player. She played with Omar Sharif...and Eva Peron."
(John over pizza last night)
"Oh no indeed. Weave is the devil's horsetail. I do not believe in all that."
(woman in Dollar Tree to friend)

O dear. I probably have friends who belong to the N.O. Fern Society. I wonder what the scandalous origins are.
"Weave is the devil's horsetail." Love that so much...would make a great title for a song or poem or something.
Plants, weaves and corpses.

Sometimes there really is nothing better than being among friends, family, and sometimes even more amusing to overhear!
Bonne Année!
