It's the weekend, and time for some wording, some arting - some general chilling and creativity. For this week's challenge, I've pulled together random images I've taken around town and snippets of conversation overheard on the street. Chime in with 'TGIF!" (or, of course, 'TGIS') and I'll deal you one of each!
The image and phrase can be used together or entirely separately - however they inspire. Write 100 words or create an artwork by Sunday at 11:5pm EDT and I'll write you a ficlet or put words on a WIP.
Good luck!

I also think I'll have plenty of images, so have two under the cut. Your overheard is:
"We're going to have a lot of fun at the party, right? And when I say it's time to go, who are you going to listen to? We're a happy family, and we like to have fun and...when you don't cry and scream and you use your words we're a happy family, right?"
Background: The overheard was a dad walking with his son and the mom to a kids' b'day party, lol. But I thought... it really applies to so much in life, doesn't it? Ha.

HAHAHA - yes, that absolutely does fit life in general. Although, it also sounds like a talk Andy might give Jay and Zayne before leaving the house for the station's Christmas party. :D
Maybe James giving Zayne the pep talk before Andy arrives, 'cause Andy's had enough nonsense this week already. ;)
Now that would work, too. James being the voice of reason because ZAYNE, SOMEBODY HAS TO! :D
Your 'overheard' quotes are short, so have two:
"You're just as attractive..."
"I got in!"

Here's yours!
"Can we get a dog today?"
This one was cute: little girl whose parent had apparently promised a pet. She clearly was dubious and hoping to lock down the transaction immediately. :)
Pics for you!

"Burlap!"
Yep. that's all I heard. It was said in an excited and inspired manner, lol.
Images below the cut....including a banana bread inspired by your weekend challenge last month!

I loved this little sticker that came with an olive oil cruet.
And this one isn't necessarily a prompt unless it inspires, but... the lemony olive oil banana bread from your challenge the other week sounded so good I made a loaf! It was awesome, though I would add another banana. The chocolate chunks were decadent. I kind of screwed up the glaze- used brown sugar only and too much lemon and it just kind of sank in but that was fine, it made parts of the inside just the right amount of gooey. This was pre-glaze, 'cause the glaze was tasty but not pretty...
I think I'll count the bread as an image for December points, lol.

"To make it worse, they don't have tater tots! They have french fries, not tater tots."

This was not taken on the street, but in a multimedia recording studio - it's basically a prop. :)
Gotham City?
Overheard (from an exasperated subway conductor) : "We have a train directly behind this one- why are you holding the doors? Why?"

The horse kind of goes with your icon, yes?
Central Park- Cat Hill
Anywho, sorry for the delay- here goes.
Your overheard: "How about you get your lazy backside off the couch, on the train, and come over instead of making me go there."
Images... one from late fall, one from earlier today...
