The deal was that I would pick a movie, and SHE would pick a movie and we would BOTH have to watch each other's picks all the way through....
Her pick : " Raise Your Voice " starring Hillary Duff ( god please help me....)
Mom's pick: " Pretty In Pink " starring Molly Ringwald ( who DOESN'T like a John Hughes flick ?)
Of course her's was on first. It was the kind of movie where you can pretty much guess what happens in the next scene. " watch...her brother is gonna die..." " watch....the CD he sends in gets her that scholarship for the exclusive music school..." ( you know the type.....)
I must have MAD PMS, because I CRIED during a whole bunch of scenes, with my daughter laughing at me. I have to admit, it WAS a cute movie.....
Time for MY movie, your normal run of the mill 80's teenage angst flick. We sat through maybe TWO scenes when she announces " Ughh ! I have seen this before Ma ! Next they're going to be driving in her car, looking at houses wishing they could live in them "......and she says this in an exasperated,roll eye kind of way,heading over to the computer where she flips on her AIM buddy list.
How DARE she ! Didn't she PROMISE to sit through my MOVIE ? I was SO offended! I REMINDED her of the deal we made, and she rolled eyes again spouting the most popular word of the teenage world today " what-everrrrr"
I chose not to protest further, and started cleaning the apartment with Molly Ringwald and her brooding teenage pout in the backround......WHATEVER !
