while watching Elmo on Sesame Street for the first time, in I think--ever:

mi madre: How do they do this trick? This...red...trick.

Overheard Outside My Office

student 1: ohmigaw! what is today? Wednesday?!

student 2: No. It's THURSDAY.

student 1: (expletive, expletive) I'm supposed to be watching Brian's frog and feed him. I keep forgetting!
I was supposed to feed him. I don't think he's eaten anything for over a week!

Student 2: maybe he started eating himself?

overheard: English Department

some student outside my office is whistling, "If I Only Had a Brain."
