Conversations At Home

September 5, 2012

A conversation with my husband regarding his new job, which involves the molding of impressionable young minds:

Patti:  You’re like Michelle Pfeiffer in that movie with Gangsta’s Paradise!*

Husband: Dangerous Minds.

Patti: No, wait! You’re like that guy in Stand and Deliver!

Husband: You mean Edward James Olmos.

Patti: Was “Lean on Me” in Stand in Deliver or was Lean on Me another movie about disenfranchised youth?** I can’t remember…

Husband: [Stares]

Patti: Wait! WAIT! You know who you are? You’re the best of all of the troubled-teen teachers… do you know where I’m going with this?

Husband: [Stares more, looks a little bewildered.]

Patti:  YOU ARE MARK HARMON IN SUMMER SCHOOL!

Husband: The hotter of the teachers?

Patti: THE HOTTEST OF THE TEACHERS. And wasn’t Kirstie Alley in that movie?

Husband: Yes.

Patti: I will totally be Kirstie Alley in summer school, she was hot.

 

*You singin’ that now? You singin’ it?  YOU’RE WELCOME.***

**It was a totally different movie about disenfranchised youth.

***Here, let me get that out of your head.
