Overheard on Montague Street yesterday evening:
Woman: You must be excited that you will get to be part of the wedding celebration!
4 year old boy (who cannot yet say his "R"s): Well, yes and no. I don't mind being the wing bea-woo, but I weally don't want to weah that suit. It is not my style. It's pwetty ugly, weally.
Overheard on Henry Street a while back:
Girl about 4 years old: Look at my new purse.
Boy about 6 years old: Yeah, so?
Girl: It's Prada.
Boy: I don't think that's a Prada purse.
Girl: But....it's pink....
Boy: Yeah, but I don't think that makes it Prada.
Girl (very sadly): Oh....

Wow! That's funny! Writing down overheard conversations is actually a great exercise for screenwriters. Not only does it train you to become accustomed as to how people actually speak, but it also typically yields some really funny pieces of dialogue. I could easily see these conversations appearing in either a film or a book.
Maybe even in the next Nepali blockbuster - eh Evan?
lol. overheard in the park. a three or so year-old tells her mom:"you can sit on my mat, 'cos your butt isn't too big."
