Overheard Conversations--Our Future Leader

Yeah, kid, I'm Voltron...
A 5 or 6 year old boy, watching some young lions (5 months) play around with each other in the Lion Habitat at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, with wonder in his voice:
Daddy, are those robots?
You see, where you or I would see the majesty of nature, the noble beauty of the King of the Beasts, this lad saw robots. Lion Robots. Lion robots fighting each other in a glass enclosure for our amusement.

We have found our future leader. I will follow this child and his holy visions anywhere he might lead. Seriously.

Overheard Conversations--Harry Potter


Conversation overheard while walking behind a family who had just come out of a theater showing Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix...

Dad: That one didn't have much of a plot.

Mom: Well, they only had a couple of hours...they had to cut a lot of the book out to make it fit.

Dad: Yeah, but I still like a little plot in my movies.

Teenage Son: Oh, Dad, they all have the same plot anyway: Harry goes back to school after summer break, and Valdemort tries to kill him. The end.
