An Overheard Conversation
Overheard conversation of two baristas at a coffee stand as I was waiting for my small mango smoothie, double-blended, yes, I want a straw (it turned out to be a child-sized smoothie. What?!). They were both slender, gorgeous, young blondes.
Barista 1: So, do you see your boyfriend every day?
Barista 2: Yeah, basically.
B1: OMG! You’re so clingy.
B2: I know, right? (Chuckling).
B1: What was the name of the boyfriend you had before this one?
Tyler, Tristan, T-something?
B2: Tanner.
B1: Is he the one who told you you’re fat?
B2. Yeah.
B1: I can’t believe he said that!
B2: I know, right? Who does that? He didn’t last long.
