Eli came running into the kitchen yesterday, all excited, after watching TV. He said, “MAMA! MAMA! There’s a new movie on Nick on Friday night, and I can’t wait to see it!”
I said, “Really? A new movie?” (I was thinking something involving Miley Cyrus or The Naked Brothers.)
Eli said, “YES! Can we watch it?”
I asked, “Well, what movie is it, sweetie?”
He said, “E.T.!”
Me: “E.T.? As in E.T. with the alien?”
Eli: “YEAH!”
Me: “Honey, that’s not a new movie.”
Eli: “Yes, it is. I just saw the commercial, and they said they were going to have it for the first time on Nick.”
Me: “Eli, I saw that movie at the theatre when I was 10 years old.”
Eli: “You did?!”
Me: “Yes. It’s a good movie.”
Eli: “You mean it’s an OLD movie?”
Me: (offended) “Well, I don’t know if I would call it old?”
Eli: “Well, I guess we can still watch it even though it’s an OLD movie.”
At that point, I almost smacked him. Then I realized that E.T. came out 26 years ago! Dude! I’m old!
