random things overheard on a spring day at the beach
"There are girls, like, everywhere and they all dance with you."
"What time does your shift start?"
"And then to bathe in the watermelon water." (This one intrigued me).
"What do you not understand about playing a game of catch?"
"Get closer. In closer. Okay. Hold it right there."
"Your table is now available."
"Why would I do that? I'm a good girl."
"They closed down a year and a half ago. Now there are, like, four Starbucks within a mile and a half of each other and we're all like, so....not happy."
"Pass to the outside. Outside!"
"She's not a very friendly animal."
"Board and batten."
"Thank you for serving our country."
"Can I go climb on the rocks?"
"Don't lose the wiffle balls in the surf!"
"Salsa Verde? Oh, oh! Salsa Fresca. Sorry."
"Do you have quarters?"
"Get out of my spot!"
"Twist of lime..." (my internal dialogue)
"People come into our lives for reasons."
"No. I'm scared! I'm just...scared."
"Poppa, I'm so mad."
"I think I will eat Huevos Rancheros every day until I die."
"Should I go to the market?"
"Kinda numb."
"It's just water. That's all it is."
"Yes, I am."
("Momma don't yell.")
"The horizon is more interesting when you can see something on it."
"No! I'm not!"
("I'm going to tell your father!")
"About twenty, twenty-five minutes."
"That went on the market last week."
"What a perfect day." (Indeed).
