Two teenage girls--one gnawing on a plastic straw and the other sporting pajama bottoms with clouds on them--overheard yapping loudly down the aisle from me at Eureka Natural Foods (where I had ventured to purchase some soy crisps, to which I have become horribly addicted):
Obnoxious Teen #1 (straw chewer): Hey, get your mom something healthy. Moms like healthy stuff!
OT #2 (pajama bottom-wearer): Dude, MY mom doesn't!
OT #1: Yeah, she does! She eats PowerBars!
OT #2: Oh yeah. You're totally right.

A woman in the mall with her husband/boyfriend at Christmastime in the early '90s said, with some exasperation, "Let's get what YOU want. Let's get [thoughtful pause]— Let's get Eternity!"
They were apparently discussing fragrances.
