Tara: It was my pick this week and I have to say: This commercial just makes me laugh. It’s mean-spirited and sarcastic, however you have to admit: Parents having a conversation like this in front of their kids is kind of appealing to the “Dark Side” … don’t you think?
Michael: I hear you. Still … it’s pretty funny. Love how the father is the instigator in this ordeal.
Tara: It is rather sad how the kid’s only attribute is his hair, though.
Michael: No. I’m finding other attributes. Well … not exactly attributes per se. But, I mean … why’s he wearing a scrunchy around his left wrist?
Tara: Maybe it’s a new fashion statement. I don’t know. I don’t have kids. But! If I did I’m sure I’d have a favorite. After all I have a favorite cat.
Michael: Is that really fair to the cat?
Tara: What do you mean?
Michael: Well … for example: Does the “favorite cat” know he/she is a favorite?
Tara: Yes. More belly kisses. Duh!
Michael: *cough, cough … hairball*
Tara: Obviously, you give cats belly kisses, too, because you just coughed up a hairball!
Michael: That’s not what I meant and you know it!
When I was a kid, my father would never (yes … I used “never”) let me have hair as long as the boy’s in the video. But, putting personal grooming aside, both parents are fighting over who’s “the better kid” instead … know what I mean?
Tara: Interesting.
Michael: How so?
Tara: Okay … it’s not so interesting. I was just trying to spur along the conversation. That is a mean story about your dad, though. After all, weren’t those hippy times when everyone who had long hair was cool and everyone who didn’t was a dork? Poor you! You’ve been “uncool” your whole life, haven’t you? I thought at least when you were young you might have had a shot at it.
Michael: The last thing I thought about then was “being cool”. And! There was no word “dork” back then.
Tara: Seriously? You never thought about being cool?
Michael: Not at that age I didn’t.
Tara: The nuns must have really been hateful at the school you went to, then.
Michael: Hello! No nuns! Didn’t attend that kind of school! Went to public school!
Tara: Oh. I don’t get you people. Public school people, I mean. I was under the impression everyone had nuns.
Michael: Cripes! Had you brainwashed … didn’t they? Bet they had a favorite, too … and you weren’t it …
Tara: You’re going to make me say one of those words that will send me to hell.
