Idle Conversations

I have some interesting conversations on a day to day basis. So I'm lacking the time to finish my super-serious post right now, I'm going to post exerpts from conversations conversations that I've been having with folks.

In The Office

Me: Is a carrot a root or a bulb?
Angie: It grows in the ground. I think it's a root
Me: And a beet is a bulb right?
Angie: I guess
Me: And an onion is a bulb too.
Angie: I guess
Me: So what's a potato?
Angie: Ummm...it's a starch.

Angie rolled her eyes and walked away from me after that answer. I don't think she was interested in taking the conversation any further.

At A Freshman Football Game

Nikki: Why do they keep tacklin each other?
Me: Because that's what they're supposed to do.
Nikki: When does the game end?
Me: When either team scores the most points by the end of the 4th quarter.
Nikki: Will they go to 10?
Me: 10 quarters?
Nikki: No. Are they playing to 10 points?
Me: This isn't street ball Nicole
Nikki: Oh. Can I go sit in the car?

Mase Is Preachin

Janie: Mase is supposed to be preachin at UD tonight.
Me: So I've heard
Janie: Who told you?
Me: A friend who still attends UD
Janie: Oh. Are you going?
Me: Uhhh no.
Janie: *laughs* Why you say it like that?
Me: like what?
Janie: Like I offended you by asking.
Me: I'm not offended. You just know me well enough to know that I wouldn't go see Mase preach.
Janie: *laughs again* Why?
Me: Do I need to give an explanation. I'm not interested in attending.
Janie: Everyone is well aware of you disdain for "big time" evangelists.
Me: Right. But I am intrigued.
Janie: Mase intrigues you? *she laughs again*
Me: I wonder if he'll perform "Breath, Stretch, Shake"
Janie: He'll be preaching T
Me: And? Why would that stop him from performing? It hasn't already.
Janie: You are sick. Of all his songs, why would he perform that one.
Me: Hey! Breath, Stretch, Shake would be an awesome intermission song. And then after intermission, he could perform "Welcome Back".
Janie: You need help
Me: Breath, Stretch, Shake would make an catchy sermon. *in my best preacher voice* "Breath in to me oh Lord. Huh. The breath of life. Stretch your spirit within me God. Huh. Renew God. SHAKE!...huh...the Devil off...huh. And God says, LET IT GO!"
Janie: Preach Preacha!
Me: *I start to dance* Let the church join in. BREATH STRETCH SHAKE. LET IT GO. BREATH STRETCH SHAKE. LET IT GO.
Janie: I can see that.
Me: Me too...Seriously
