darth_stitchI'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!"
And later on, while doing some fond reminiscing over Daddy Alien, Mommy Duck ended up saying something about her and Daddy Alien that made me react this way:
Me: OMG, Mom! TMI! TMI!
Mommy Duck: (bewildered) What's TMI?
Me: Too much information!
Mommy Duck: What? That's just how your Daddy and I are affectionate with each other!
Me: (hilarified) I would very much like to think that I hatched out of an egg, okay, Mommy Duck?
Mommy Duck: (indulgently) Okay. Because you are my duckling.
Me: (still somewhere between hysterical laughter and TMI-squick) Wheeee.
