Two brief moments that deserve mention:
Mr. Curmudgeon: “How was book club?”
Mrs. Curmudgeon: “It was great we had wine…”
Mr.: “And the book?”
Mrs.: “We watched a movie.”
Mr.: “You watched a movie?!? At book club?”
Mrs.: “It was about a writer…”
Mr.: “A movie? At. Book. Club.”
Mrs.: “It was very good. Had Will Ferrell…”
Mr.: “You went to book club and watched a movie… with Ricky Bobby from Talladega Nights?”
Mrs.: “Shut up.”
Mr.: “I’m puttin’ this on my blog.”
Mrs.: “Ugh!”
Me: “I just got back from the kid’s school.”
Mrs.: “How did it go?”
Me: “I’ve come up with a great name for a girl power glam rock band.”
Mrs.: “Oh god not that one woman…”
Me: “Yep. ‘Scary Mary and the Stoners’ is going to top the charts.”
Mrs.: “Remember the good old days when the kids were the dumb ones?”
Me: “That’s going on the blog!”
The movie in question was Stranger than Fiction (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0420223/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_51) and it is literary themed, appropriately pretentious, and actually quite good. In fact it was better than most of the trendy books we usually read in book club anyway. Hurumph. Mr. Douche Canoe.
