overheard in SLC

on the street

Biking up the street I saw a kid with a backpack on. He was crying, about to get into his mom's car.

He sobs to his mom, "my life is the worst life ever!"

As he got in and closed the door she said, "well, don't blame me, blame God! It's not my fault if your life is the worst life ever."

at a party

He says, "you're a Ph.D. candidate, your friends probably expect you to know a lot."

She responds, "They don't expect much from me at all. They think I'm just really good at taking tests."
