City Conversations #3
My hubby and I were standing in line at the blockbuster (to rent “Night at the Museum”). I had baby bug strapped to me in my Mei Tai carrier and Tim starting bending over and making funny faces and strange noises at the baby to make him laugh.
After a little while, the guy behind us says “Excuse me, I just had to share–my friend here didn’t see that you were carrying a baby and thought that your husband was a crayzperson.” Apparently the friend had been all “dude, this guy has Turette’s syndrom or something, he’s making uncontrollable noises or having a seizure or something.”
I got to explain that while my husband was, in fact, crazy, his craziness didn’t manifest in those particular symptoms.
Just think, that guy could’ve gone back to his blog and written a post about how he was behind a crazy guy in line at blockbuster’s. Although he still could–except it will be about how babies turn their parents into crazy people. Which is true.
As a side note, it turned out that the guys behind us were also renting Night At the Museum. Which they had already seen and they raved about how great it was. Now, I didn’t think it was so great as to merit a double viewing–it was cute and not too annoying to watch once (but oh, poor Dick Van Dyke! How have you fallen!)–but more than once? I guess there’s no accounting for taste.

Simply highlights the need for thorough observation. That said, all people are crazy!!! Apparently you have to watch out for the people who over use exclamation marks…..hmmmmm.
I think that you should consider Netflix. I currently have 70+ DVDs in my list, building up my six degrees arsenal, Last night was “Robin Hood” with Errol Flynn…I only got half way through as the DVD was scratched, but it was quite enjoyable, far better than Cecil B DeMille’s “Cleopatra” from 1934.
Dick Van Dycke……surely can’t be any worse than “Diagnosis Murder,” with Chachi!!!!!
