~Pedestrian Conversations~

While crossing the street at a local outdoor shopping center...

Eamon:  <running> "Hurry!  HURRY!"

Me:  "No worries.  We made it safe and sound [with a block's distance to spare]."

Eamon:  "Apparently, some people don't know driving laws!"

Me:   "Really?  What driving laws are you talking about?" 

Eamon:  "The ones about cars stopping when people are crossing the street."

Me:  "Even if the cars are a block away from the people crossing the street?  They're still supposed to stop?"

Eamon:  "Yes.  But apparently not everyone knows that."


Yes, he was really using the word "apparently," which cracked me up!  ;)
