Now then:
Often my pop culture references are not appreciated in my house.
Allusions to old videogames or mayhaps a movie quote are both heard, and eschewed. (A GREAT WORD, Don't you think?)
"Eschewed" eschewed though, I frequently talk about my day/unfortunate circumstances at home, to which my father always replies, whether or not he was even listening, "WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD, LARISSA."
When he can't find the remote for the TV and I say this to him, he does not appreciate his brand of comedic genius to the same extent.
C'est la vie.
Yet every time he says it I always want to say "Coulda sworn I took the blue pill."
In fact, perhaps I have but the joke went off with so little success I have eschewed it from my mind.
(BING BANG BOOM)
Sadly Matrix references are not enjoyed in my house.
NOT RELATEDLY: Neither are 90s pop band references either, witnessed when my father was discussing frustrations with his 7 member cover-band with my mother.
My mother replies "Well its always hard to keep everyone happy in a group of 7."
My mother replies "Well its always hard to keep everyone happy in a group of 7."
This is true.
Comedic genius that I am, I offer my wisdom: "Yeah man, S Club 7 couldn't make it work."
YET: CRICKETS.
Coulda SWORN there ain't no party like an S club party.
NO ONE APPRECIATES MY CAPSLOCK OR HUMOUR.
Welcome to the real world, Larissa. Turns out I was just eating Mike & Ikes all along.
