Strange Days Indeed
Never having been a parent before, I'm not sure if I should be disturbed that Gabe asked me to scan a picture of a girl from his yearbook, then print it "real big." I did it, wondering if it was for a class project or something, and as soon as I gave it to him he scrawled "girlfriend" on the bottom of the page. I asked if she knew she was his girlfriend. He replied that no, she didn't, he had just decided.
Then, I had to pick up some junk at the store and as I was waiting to pay I noticed some of the cheapo videos at the checkout. Most of them are really poorly done animated thingies, or TV movies. I noticed the title of one, "Small Change." I thought to myself, "That's a classic." Then I had to take some candy away from Sam before he ate it. I looked again at the video. "Wait! That's Francois Truffaut! I love that film! I have to get it!" What are the chances that I would find that right here in Defiance, Ohio? If my dad doesn't already have it I'll save it for his birthday. If he does, I have a copy. Everybody wins.
