See what I did there?
I was at the Starbucks in Meijer (superdupermarket) getting a little caffeine to carry me through the groceries, and noticed a Talking Heads compilation on the CD stand. The barista, a middle-aged woman putting the last drizzle of caramel on my macchiato, said, "Those are going fast! That's the last one left! It's really popular these days!"
I said, "Yeah, I used to listen to Talking Heads a lot." Putting it back, because I don't really buy CDs anymore.
"My son likes them a lot now," she continued. "I guess they used to be popular, and then they weren't, and now they are again."
Overwhelmed by cleverness temptation, I just went for it. "Same as it ever was."
She handed over my drink as if she didn't notice. "Yup, now they're popular again."
