Setting it Straight
I was waiting in line to buy lunch today, when the movie Old School came on TV, just in time for me to catch this scene:
Frank: I told my wife I wouldn’t drink tonight. Besides, I got a big day tomorrow. You guys have a great time.
College Student: A big day? Doing what?
Frank: Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we’re going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don’t know, I don’t know if we’ll have enough time.
Which, I think, is a totally unfair portrayal of real relationships. Because in my case, it was actually Sunday rather than Saturday, and The Container Store and West Elm rather than Home Depot and BB&B.
