Mommy Duck and Me
Oct. 15th, 2011 01:44 amI've mentioned in previous posts that my Mom is also a Fangirl. So there's reason for her to smile and listen indulgently when I squee over Steve McGarrett and Danny Williams and Hawaii Five-0 (2010).
She still prefers Original Flavor Five-O, though.
However, we had this conversation:
Mommy Duck: You know, I've figured out why you like this new version of Steve McGarrett.
Me: (blinks) Because he's cute?
Mommy Duck: (looks at the TV screen consideringly) He resembles your father.
Me: (flails) OMG! WHAT. I CAN'T EVEN.
The hilarious thing is that my dear, departed Daddy Alien loved watching TV with me and was terribly entertained whenever he figured out that I'm crushing on the leads. And because he's a bit of a loon himself (gee, I wonder where I get that from....), he'd puff himself up and say, "Didn't you know? I'm <insert name of TV actor here>." And my Mom would laugh and roll her eyes and they'd flirt while I groan and tell him he's being delusional, as per usual.
So yeah, my Dad (who I still miss terribly, especially now) would most likely give me this goofy expression and say, "Didn't you know? I'm Steve McGarrett!"
( Much later.... )
