Waiting for the Kids: The School Bus Stop

-Well Tom's gonna be feeling it tonight.
-What's going on with Tom?
-He's gettin' snipped.
-Snipped? At his age?
-Had some kinda growth. Hahaha.
-Oh boy. He'll probably need that catheter too.
-Oh ya. He'll need it, but those aren't so bad anymore though.
-Depends who's doin' it. My last guy did it, I didn't even know he stuck it in already.
-Ah Geeze. That's nice. Hahaha. See, this is what you young guys have to look forward to.
-Wait til you gotta get your prostate checked.
-Hahahaha. That's no fun.
-And you get some doctor who's spending all kinds of time playing around up there.
-Hahahahaha.
-Heh heh.
-My last doctor, I just about asked him if he was planning on sticking something else up there.
-Hahaha. That's nothing. When I lived in Swift Current, I had this woman doctor do it. Real good looking too. And she said to me, she said I hope this doesn't hurt too much.
-Hahaha
-And I told her, I says, Oh I know you grease those fingers up good.
-Hahaha.
-Hahaha.
-Haha.
-And when she finished I asked her does she do that to her husband too.  Ah hahaha.
-Hahaha.
-She says, Oh no, my husband isn't in to that sort of thing.
-Haha.
-Haha.
-Haha.
-You're allowed to say stupid things when you're old, see.

The Table Next to Me: Starbucks

-The truth is I'm not prejudice. My kids have dated all kinds of nationalities. Even First Nation people. And I've always made sure I didn't say anything. I'm really not prejudice 

-No, no. Of course.

-And you know I'm sure their kids will do the same—it's just kinda how the world is going. But now Kelly's going out with a real Chinese guy, like straight from China with the accent and all that. It's harder not to say something. 

-Mm hmm.

-But I guess I should probably just leave it. I mean they're all the same anyway.

Three Rows Back: The School Bus

-That's a public school. They don't believe God loves you.

Near the Front Entrance: Dollarama

-I think I'm gonna stop at the Rainbow on my way home.

-The Rainbow?

-Ya, I gotta get some popcorn. Haha.

-You can do that?

-Oh sure. They get the bag ready as soon as they see me coming. Haha.

-Hahaha. Well I guess if you need some popcorn. Haha.

-Ya. And mamma needs her popcorn. Hahaha.

-Hahaha.

The Row Behind Us: Knox Metropolitan Church

-Wu—
-D—
-Haha. You go.
-No go ahead.
-I was gonna say— I dunno why I was thinking about this, but wouldn't it be, I dunno, intriguing to be a part of a girls gone wild week.
-What? Like—
-Ya like in Florida or Cancoon or whatever.
-Like spring break?
-Exactly.
-Whattayou mean? Like a chaperone?
-Hahaha. As if anyone would trust you to be a chaperone.
-Whattayou mean? I'm not gonna just go down to be a participant.
-Oh my god, if I ever had a kid I'd never trust you to be a chaperone.
-What the heck, why not?
-Oh I'm sure you could figure it out.
-That was so—
-Shh shh shh. It's starting.

Amongst the Shelves: Chapters

-Hey, you guys have any conspiracy theory books?
-Uh, yeah we've got a couple. Looking for anything specific?
-Well ya, I'm looking for books on the Holocaust.
-Uh... Well—
-Some guys say it didn't even happen.
-Well. Ya, I think it's pretty well documented.
-Ya but they could be lying about anything. Like first it's two million, then it's two point five, then six and now people say eight million.
-I'm pretty sure they have a lot of it documented—
-Ya but—
-And even two million is kind of a big deal.
-Ya, no. Ya for sure. I heard this guy on the radio last night talking about it, but he doesn't come up on your computer.
-No. Yeah, you'll prolly haveta check Amazon for garbage like that.
