Yesterday morning, Chris and I were on the bus to the city.
For a few stops, a pair of elderly (70s+) ladies sat in the chair in front of us.
One of the women had just purchased a set top box (as in, was now holding it), and they were discussing whether it would fix the problems she was having with her TV.
I was alternating between "Aww, it's so cute when old people are (successfully) talking about techology!" and "MUST... NOT... CHIP... IN..."
...But seriously. People charge $86 to set up a set top box?!? The ones I've seen have an auto-scan function, so you just click "Go" and it sets itself up for you.

At the moment on our dining table, there is a copy of the Property News, which is essentially one of the local real estate agents saying "Buy houses from us!" in imitation-tabloid form.
Entertainingly, the cover headline is "Housing Sector Outstrips Shares, U.S. Market!"
...Well, duh.

Today was the birthday party for my eldest neice, Ella.
I had a conversation with her cousin, Bradley, about who I was in relation to Kristy, my sister-in-law.
Bradley: Are you and Kristy twins?
Mm: No.
Bradley: Are you sisters?
Mm: No.
Bradley: Are you her mother?
Mm: .....
...Given that his mother is Kristy's sister, and he should know full who his maternal grandmother is (since she was also present), I'm not sure if he's totally unobservant or trying to be irritating. But... What?

P.S.: When I explained I was David's sister, I don't think he believed me... |
