evolution
Middle and bb are eating chicken and discussing music...bb is faking it.
bb: what songs are we IMing tonight? How's about some Earth Wind and Fire?
Middle: that's so funny that you should mention them!
bb: mmm? Why's that? (she says, very excited that he is actually going to have a conversation with her.)
Middle: well, today, in gym -
bb (interrupting): Oh! I love it when you tell me about gym! What are you playing?
Middle: Pickle-ball, which is like tennis and badminton combined but you play with a green plastic ball, but that's another story.
bb:....
Middle: So. Today, in gym, my friend and I were talking about which movie we thought we should bring BACK IN TIME to show people...
bb: Well, obviously Back To The Future.
Middle: No. No good, they wouldn't get it - like The Matrix. They wouldn't even begin to get that. I'm talking about back in time to like 1214 AD or something.
bb: You talk about this kind of stuff in gym?
Middle: Yeah, so...
bb: I still can't believe you have gym with girls...
Middle: ANYWAY, I said I would bring Jurassic Park to show them. I mean, can you imagine when they see the dinosaurs?
bb: And this has something to do with Earth Wind And Fire?
Middle: Yes! You know that scene when we don't see the dinosaur coming but we can see the vibration from its footsteps in the cup of water?
bb: Uh, yeah, so?
Middle: Well, Steven Spielberg said that he was inspired to shoot that after he was sitting at a traffic light next to a car with music so loud that it was vibrating his rear-view mirror, AND the music that was vibrating his rear-view mirror WAS EARTH WIND AND FIRE.
So. Full circle. Jurassic Park. Earth Wind And Fire.
bb: What year did you say you were going back to?
Please vote for his Cloverfield movie today, he has slipped back to 5th. Email me if you need details.
Thanks.
