She:"I just can't believe how much that tree has grown".
He:"Wazzat?"
She:"That tree..Next to the restrooms..I can't believe how big it is now".
He:"Hasn't it always been that big?"
She:"What are you talking about old man?..You remember when they planted it!"
He:"No..No I really don't".
She:"Sure you do!..Buster used to lift his leg on that tree when he was just a pup!"
He:.."Oh yeah!..Boy,..THOSE were the days.."

Some of the best bits of conversation are the overheard ones.
Steve: Remember when we were here before?
Me: Huh?
Steve: Yea, the other day we were here.
Me: What Other day?
Steve: I don't know, the last time we were here.
Old.
buster's gone but his scent on the tree lives on. if that isn't nice, what is?
i'm going out to piss on my neighbor's tree right now.
Now that sounds like the kind of tree I'd like to climb just to drive my dad crazy!
MEOWWWW!
I love eavesdropping.
reminds me of the tree in my back yard--and how small my son was the first time i saw him sit there with a book. Have you ever read that book??? about the tree???? and the boy???? oh crap... what is the name of that book???
Strange what triggers memory...
I get a kick out of the little exchanges between couples that have been together for so long,that the most insignificant bit of information can trigger fond memories.Just like this one reminded me of my Grandparents.
last time I listened in on a conversation..I heard them discussing how they could croak the daughterinlaw...they were still arguing over a gas leak vs bad brakes..
really...
Hi Sling,

Awwwww, I love old people...I'd like to be one someday!
