Nephew: http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/

Me: "Hipster #2: I'm not pretentious because I'm an American who uses chopsticks; I'm pretentious because I speak fluent Latin."

Nephew: My friend Sean (law school guy) speaks fluent latin.

Me: i just hope he doesnt use chopsticks

Nephew: I'd like to sit in a coffee shop in New York City for a few hours

Me: you totally should

Me: my kid did that. he had a fine time

Me: and he went to a party in this high-rise building he wasnt even invited to

Nephew: I bet if you stake out every coffee shop in new york you could get some good dirt

Me: definitely

Nephew: you just have to find a way to be several hundred places at once.

Me: and be able to drink a whole lotta coffee

Nephew: I had a plan to become increasingly rude and witty but all New Yorkers seem to have me beat. So I don't know if I should try.

Me: keep reaching for the stars
