My Hilarious Travelogue

Overheard on the Trails…

Some might be so bold as to profess that kids say the darnedest things, but in my experience, words truly asinine can only come from the mind of an adult…and I do use the word “mind” loosely!  The following are a small collection of things that I overheard while wandering the trails found at various visitor centers throughout the ‘Glades and all I can say is … I couldn’t make this stuff up, folks…

A Man and His Lady Friend:
Woman –
“Wow – look at that!
Man – “That’s a stick.”
Woman – “Oh…”

Mother to Her Young Child:
“Be quiet!  You’re going to scare away all of the nature…”

Another Mother / Child Conversation:
Son (watching a nearby gator from the boardwalk in astonishment) - “I probably wouldn’t get it back, but I could throw my camera at him from here.”
Mother (completely without expression) – “That’s not very respectful of the wildlife.  Why would you even say something like that?”
Son - “Sorry, mother…”

Father to His Sons:
“Put those sticks down!”

Some Dude’s Wife, in Response to the  Scene Photographed Below:
“They must be brother and sister!”

Note: WTF?! I don't know about you, but that's not how brothers and sisters act in my family...

Husband to His Wife Over a Cell Phone:
“Honey, we can only talk for a minute because I only have signal right here and even it’s fading whenever the wind blows!”
I said, I only have signal RIGHT HERE where I’m standing now – I don’t get a signal back at the campground!!!”
“Oh forget it, she’s your mother, not mine…”
