OVERHEARD
Near City Hall, Philadelphia

Apologies for yesterday’s unexplained absence. I had a couple of appointments in the morning and then became otherwise occupied by some job-search-related activities. (I know what you were thinking: “Gee whiz, the guy blogs for one day and then takes time off?)

We’ll start out slowly today with the latest in my ongoing “Overheard” series.

This one took place yesterday near City Hall. The dialogue below is between a 30-something mother and her four-to-five year-old son.

Mother: Now be a good boy today.
Son: Say please.
Mother: Please be a good boy today.
