my agency's free "community picnic" last friday afternoon/evening:
mother #1, upon receiving a children's museum pass, good for free admission for up to a family of 8, says: "last year, there was no expiration date."
mother #2, upon seeing the food provided, says: "not everybody likes hot dogs. i, for one, don't."
mother #3, upon passing through the entrance gate, says: "why'd you guys set up the entrance here? over there woulda been more convenient."
father #1, upon asking what there is to drink and being told coke, diet coke, sprite, gatorade, and bottled water, says: "i like pepsi."
grandmother #1, upon looking for a place to sit down and rest for a minute says, "these chairs are awfully small."
relative of some sort #1, upon realizing that the band was between sets says, "y'all oughta just play CDs."
and mother # 1 - again - upon exiting the grounds with her 5 kids in tow says, "thanks, but it was better last year. i mean, it was good, but it was better last year."
