Overheard

"Massimo, unless you intend to hold Mr. Squirmy on your lap for an hour-long boat trip, I suggest you unfold that thing and put him back into it." (Italian wife to her husband, who had just carefully folded up the stroller.)
"1 euro for the bathroom! I'm going to have to piss much worse than I do now before I pay 80 pence to use the loo!" (One British teen to another outside the public toilet in Burano.)
"Honey, which one was Torcello? The one with the glass?" "No honey, that was Murano. Torcello was the one where you lost your camera case." (Australian couple, right next to me here at the Internet shoestore.)
"Mom, you're WRONG! The Romans have the beards; the Barbarians have the long hair!" (French 10-year-old boy to his mother at the "Rome and the Barbarians" show.
"Honey, I think our little Presbyterian church is going to look pretty sad after this." (American couple, in San Giorgio Maggiore)

Been there, seen that!
