The next decade....what's in store?

Overheard in the bank

What to do when waiting in the line? Listen to the conversations around you.

LADY 1
Two persons up from me. This was in the shorter line for credit card transactions. She calls out a man in the snaking regular line "Hi, I didn't know you come to the bank?". He replies "what you mean?". Says she "I thought, you know, you would send somebody to the bank for you". Hmmm, I guess the man is some bigshot. I didn't recognize him.

She then proceeds to chat loudly to him (how could I help but listen?). He then asks how is her son. Fine, she says. How old is he? 1.5 years. Then she says that she is wondering whether to send him to play school. Play school! According to her, some of her friends are pressuring her to do that. The man, who has older kids, says there are pros and cons of doing that.

LADY 2
Right in front of me. She was reading a book called 'The Woman Next Door'. Then she got a call on her cell phone. Lady 2 was talking so loudly that I couldn't hear.

But what was interesting, was that she had on a Levis jeans as well. So did I. I noticed the waist size and it's 8 inches less than mine. When I looked at her I said to myself "she scrawny". No way do I want to be that skinny. So I just need to lose another 5 inches off my waist and I will be fine. I lost 4 while in England so that will be a total of 9 inches when I get to my goal.
