Eli and I were sitting in the waiting room at the doctor this morning and a lady sitting right next to us was having a candid conversation on her cell phone.
Here's what we now know:
Her husband is getting a restraining order on her, although she has no idea why.
She was kicked out of the house and he changed the garage door opener and the locks.
All she has out of the house are her clothes and shoes, a bag of books, and a couple pans and a knife.
Her soon to be ex-husband is a bastard.
He is taking all the money out of the JOINT checking account to pay his lawyer.
He is selling stuff to pay his lawyer, which really isn't fair because she has no way to get in and get stuff to sell.
She is missing her Tinkerbell pajamas and thinks he probably gave them to "The Girlfriend".
She is gonna have to get a lawyer.
The person on the other end of the line has given her money, and other people have as well.
All the above "facts" were told in a "whatever" tone, and the lady kept looking at us to see if we were listening. I think she thought she was cute.
When the nurse FINALLY called her name, all four of us sitting around her breathed a sigh of relief. I do believe I heard a "Thank You Lord", and have the suspicion it came out of my mouth.
I must have said it louder than I thought, because the guy sitting across from us chuckled. Eli looked at him and said, "That's what you're thinking too, huh?" Then the guy laughed.
Take heed, loudtalkers. We don't wanna know, really.

Lol! I'm totally a loud talker, but I try to limit my private conversations to private locations so I can talk as loud as I want about my TinkerBell pj's.
Which brings up an interesting question: what kind of a woman is "The Girlfriend," if she's willing to accept used pajamas??? Have some self-respect. Or at least some standards. Oh, and don't date married men.
Bingo, Erin.
I would have asked to borrow her phone.
ooh good one Carla, I'll have to remember that.
Either that or tell her to SHADDUP!
I would've taken out my own phone and pretended I was calling him and telling him all that she was saying, then just taken it where it led.
Love it all! You guys are too funny!
All I can think about is the fact that she's got several pans and a KNIFE!
