Overheard in NYC?

Yeah, I love that site and actually mentioned it in another forum: http://www.streetadvisor.com/new_york/forums/new-york-city-blogs#reply
Lost myself in that website just now...it's endlessly fascinating reading.
My friend Tristian just overheard something and got it posted. I thought it was particularly amusing:
Curly-haired girl: When I think back on all the prestigious internships I had... I really regret how awkward I was.
Friend: (nods vigorously)
--Union Square
Overheard by: Trist
Sounds like a really cool website. I'll go there and check out what people are saying. You never know. You may read something that inspires an idea for a book deal.
@ajadedidealist Ha. I can relate to that, sadly.
Hah, can't we all! Anybody have their own personal Overheads? My favorite
On the bus up Amesterdam Ave.
cute kindergarten-aged child: Sarah's really nice! She's my friend. I like playing with her.
overly protective mother: I don't know. I think Sarah is a little two-faced.
cute child: no she isn't! we have playdates.
mother: Haven't you ever noticed that Sarah is one way with you, and a different way with other people? Don't you think that's BAD?
child: but...
mother: I think Sarah has some issues she needs to work out.
child: i guess....
methinks the mother had a beef with Sarah's mother a while back..
I don't usually share my thoughts or what I hear. But I do write them down as ideas for a novel or screenplay.
I heard one the other day in a bar:
"My water broke right there in the bathroom at work."
@ajadedidealist I think that mother has some issues of her own she could be working out.
