This morning in the car my parent's friend, let's call her Diane, put a wonderful proposition out for a new show. Conversations that people have in their cars.
She laughed and said, "I think this has been a pretty hilarious car ride..." The car rides down to school two mornings a week with my parents and their friend are really wonderful moments. But it's interesting how much can be talked about in a 45 minute ride...and how many hilarious moments can happen.
Take this morning for example.
I had a song stuck in my head this morning from Some Like it Hot with Marilyn Monroe, my uncle would be proud of me. The unfortunate thing for those around me when I have songs stuck in my head and talk about that song is that all sorts of other songs from various movies pop into my head. So I went from that song to a song at the beginning of Sing in the Rain to "Make 'em Laugh" from Singing in the Rain. This was stuck in my head for the rest of the ride, and I continued to hum it.
In any case, the conversation went from songs and musicals I must watch, to my dad calling me an "old soul". to more serious matters about family and relationships, to me humming "Make 'em Laugh" again, to my parent's friend giggling in the front seat because of my return to the song in every silent moment, to her proposal of the show, to me telling a story about my friends and I thinking we were really hilarious until we realized that the person that kept laughing at our jokes was watching a show and not, in fact, laughing at our jokes (we're so humble!), to my mom mishearing something that was said and me laughing so hard I was crying and my parent's friend joining me once she understood what was going on- which set me off again, to my dad requesting he could see the video I was playing while he was driving (uhmmm! haha, I didn't let him, I e-mailed it to him...) to arriving at work and saying goodbye.
It was such a wonderful ride, and I really think her idea was good! I think some of the best conversations and most hilarious moments can happen in a car. Also there is such diversity! There are people driving to work in rush hour, families travelling to family gatherings or going on vacation, couples going on their first date, couples who have been married for 30 years, people having arguments, people talking to themselves. So much diversity!
I would watch that kind of show. Would you?
