At the airport a few weeks ago:

Mum: "Look, you're not staying at Oscar's tonight, your Dad wants to see you at home."
Little boy: "Ugh, I've been seeing Dad for 7... no, 8 years!"

* train stops at Toorak *

Teenage girl to friends: "Toorak?! Is that a real place? Is it like, really scummy or what?"

Amazing guesswork.

'Don't go in the water! It itches!'

Uh, yeah, dude. Might be all the jellyfish?

(He also started a sentence with 'My penis...'. I am quite glad I didn't overhear the rest of it.'

A couple of overheards from the weekend:

Girl 1: Hey, do you have a condom?
Girl 2: No, why?
Girl 1: Uh, cause we're gonna need one?

Boy: Let's get off at Upper Gully.
Girl: What the hell is an Upper Gully?!

"I don't care, you don't pash your sister. Especially if you're already pashing her sister."

-Cranbourne train early this afternoon

Two overheards from the same pair of elderly ladies on a train late Sunday afternoon:

Lady 2: No, he's just got a gummy leg. He drags it along behind him.

Lady 1: If someone was in a wheelchair, there is no way I'd jump in front of it!
Lady 2: Oh no, never! Can I have a Mintie?

On the train home from work tonight, from the same girl ( Read more... )

Today at Greensborough plaza:

Little boy (about seven): "Mum, can I have a new Nintendo for Christmas?"

Mother: "What did you say?"

Little boy: "...I said; mum, can I please have some books for Christmas?"

At Rose Street Market, Fitzroy, and without any discernable sarcasm or irony:

Man 1: Where are you guys from?
Man 2: Africa, you know where that is?
Man 1: Yeah, like South Africa, I know it.
