Mean Girls
Mean Girls.
Yes. We watched it.
While you would like to think I was off writing my Blog, answering my E-mails, being a mom, or doing something deeply moving, I wasn’t.
I was watching Mean Girls with a grown man.
Now, we did stop and discuss what color hair Lindsey Lohan looks better with.
Oh, and we both think she’s too thin now.
And I told him how I like people with freckles. Especially guys.
So, there was some deep, meaningful conversation going on, I can assure you.
The thing is, we were watching it on TV. We have a favorite quote from this movie, but we did not figure we would get to hear it.
Being on regular TV, we thought it would be bleeped out.
Oh, yes. The quote is that bad.
But it’s our favorite.
We say it.
We text it.
We torture people who have not seen the movie with it.
The big gym scene came, and we were braced for them to skip right on over it.
Stuart looked up at me as the moment got closer,rubbing his hands together, “It’s coming!”
“They won’t say it.”
“I know it, but it’s still time for it!”
The moment came…and…
They didn’t bleep it!
And we fell out laughing.
Now, I’m not being symbolic here.
We actually did fall out.
Neither one of us was in the upright position any longer.
We just weren’t prepared for it.
I was in a balled up fetal position, snorting.
Yes, I said snorting.
He had his head on the arm of the couch, and there were tears streaming down his face.
Looking up at each other only made it worse, because by then I was crying AND snorting.
And for the next ten minutes I had to fight off little uncontrollable spasms of laughter.
And if I even looked at Stuart, we would just break down again.
It’s funny that we had seen it and said it a million times, but that didn’t lessen our enjoyment.
Each day doesn’t bring an opportunity to try something new, but each day does come with an opportunity to look at the same old thing in a different light.
