Obuservation #1

I ride the bus to work. I see and hear a lot of things that I usually end up making comments about, to myself, in my head. On really good ones, I tell a friend the story. I'm going to start putting them down here and calling them "Obuservations."

My favorite so far? The young woman who got on the bus, obviously/hugely pregnant, towing a toddler behind her. An older woman (I'm assuming her mother) was with her. In a not-such-an-inside voice, the mother said to her "I think you should tell him. After all, he might be the father."

Do people think a little cone of silence descends around them on the bus and others can't hear? Don't they think some conversations should be private? Don't you wonder who the father is and how many candidates there might be?
