On a recent Friday night I had this random text conversation with one of my grown teen, now in his 40s. I have his permission to share.
Greg: Strange random question. I remember you being a fan of the original Star Trek. What do you think of the new movies?
Me: Love them.
Greg: Me too. I’m watching both tonight for the too many too count time and it made me think of ya. A lot of trekky nerds hate em.
Me: They would be nerds, of course.
Greg: Lol. I’ve decided to marry a green woman. Is that too much to ask?
Me: Yes. What a silly pre-Valentine thought.
Greg: Sorry for my weird sense of humor. Btw, I’ve come to love M*A*S*H as well and Bruce Willis movies with the exception of the last Die Hard.
Me: It’s about time you realize that everything about me is absolutely right!!
Greg: Yea, age brings wisdom.
Me: If only the whole world was as smart as me. And now you.
Greg: Luv ya and miss ya. Someday I’ll bring my kids to VA to visit ya.
Warm fuzzies for everyone. This is my actual life and it is good.
p.s. I don’t need to explain to you the love of Bruce Willis. MASH takes no explanation and has no shame.
