Listen up!

For this swap, you'll send one postcard to each of your three partners. Three postcards in all.

In the message area, write a comment that you overheard somewhere in your world. Standing in line at the grocery... sitting in a coffee shop... waiting in the dentist waiting area. Write down some snatch of a conversation on the postcard. Mail it, stamped and naked, to your partner.

Postcard is sender's choice.

Here are some samples of the style of the overheard comments: "... then the dog....lottery ticket.... OH NO!!! ... " "He didn't even CALL me. Can you believe it??" "flight was delayed and I had to go to a hotel where I had the most awful night of my life."

Try to catch something a little more interesting than "the..... and then..... which...."

OK. It's pretty easy, and we all hear bits of conversation around us. Write it down. Send it out. Easy and fun.

I already started eaves dropping to practice. Now I dont remember what the ladies said or the men but WOW the things people talk about while in line at places. So personal.

This one is gonna be FUN!!!!! I cant wait!! But...Just one question....What does "naked" mean??

Blurg 02/17/2013 #

@awesomomster "Naked" means not in an envelope. Just write the postcard, stamp it, address it, and mail it. So the postal carrier can eavesdrop on what we write...

giggle what a great excuse to be nosy!

Pouffia 02/18/2013 #

Okay, I just learned I'm way too nosy. Without even having intentionally listened, I can think of at least four things I've heard random people say these last few days. :/

Blurg 02/18/2013 #

Yes. It makes one a little more conscious of what one is saying, and where, and who is around... Enjoy!

I overheard a very funny conversation the other day, knowing this was coming up, but I don't know if I can explain it on a postcard size! I'm going to continue to keep my ears trained :)
