**Overheard during the solar eclipse on Monday**

1. “No, you shouldn’t look at the Sun directly _this_ time either, Mr. Trump.”
2. “Look! Marjorie Taylor Green is watching Mike Johnson to see if he’s struck down by a Holy Solar Laser!”
3. “Totality lasted longer than my first husband did when he got excited.”
4. People actually traveled for hours to see _that_?
5. “My Spotify notifications are blowing up again - must be another eclipse.” - Bonnie Tyler
6. “It’s okay if you look at it through your phone.”
7. “It’s fully covered! Wait, no. It just went behind the clouds.”
8. “Is it over yet?”
9. “Donald saw his shadow. Six more weeks of court trials.”
10. “Look! Bailey’s beads!”

An interested and knowledgeable kid standing near us.

I have no clever ones, unlike @Prof.Pepperwinkle and @Elendil_s_Heir
