Overheard in Park Slope
On the way to school. Rainy day. Umbrellas are up. Sidewalk, crowded.
ME: Madge, watch how you hold your umbrella [please – I meant to say please]. That’s the second person you’ve whanged into [dammit - I wanted to say dammit, but I didn't. Does that make up for the missed "please"?].
MADELEINE: -
ME: Madge! Did you hear me? [More swallowed cussing.]
MADELEINE (annoyed): Yeeeeeeesss.
ME: How would I know? You’re not responding.
MADELEINE: That’s because I’m ignoring you.
Oh.
