Kathy said around cocktail hour on August 4, 2008
Somehow we got sucked into causally watching The Breakfast Club after dinner. You’ve all seen it, and if you haven’t, why isn’t your head flatter from being under that rock for so long? *puts a drink on it* Anyway, my husband is a good 5 years older than me, which usually isn’t any kind of issue but sometimes our age gap shows a little.
Me: I have always thought this movie was a little stupid.
Him: No way! This is a great movie.
Me: Come on, there is no way teenagers sat in a circle and cried to each other. And then all danced like a bunch of turds without being embarrassed. That just wouldn’t happen.
Him: You don’t know that! It could happen… they’re kids!
Him: You just don’t understand… this was before your generation.
Me: What were the dinosaurs like?
I know I am supposed to love that movie but it just BUGS me to no end… all the weeping and the whining. I can’t take it. Give me Splash or Teen Wolf over that any day.

Cocktail: Cabernet Sauvignon; gallons of it.
Xanadu—for some really cheesy acting and even cheesier outfits.
And I LOVE Weird Science. Love it.

I never liked Pretty in Pink and have always been afraid to admit it. Until today.

Cocktail: Your Mom
I’m only about ten months older than you, and I don’t consider it before my generation. You’re just weird for not liking a CLASSIC movie.
I totally sat around in detention with people like that. True story.

Sounds like conversations had by my husband and me, only I am the one saying “this was before your generation” since he is 4 years younger

from your moms.
you… you don’t like the breakfast club? i don’t know what to say. you think you KNOW someone. man.
from your moms.
It’s simple. You don’t like The Breakfast Club because you’re a pitiful heathen without a soul. That’s the only explanation that comes to mind.
