The other day when my friend, A, & I took my mom to the airport to go home we were discussing Halloween costumes. We discussed the things we had been as children and what our own children were going to be this year.
Me: Baby is going to be a Clone Trooper from Star Wars this year. We got him a cool helmet at Costco. He loves it and is so excited!
Mom: That is pretty cool.
A: My boy is going to be a frog. Baby will love it (she knows of his love for everything froggy.) My hubby wants me to be the Bounty Hunter's wife. She is so skanky. I just can't do it!
Mom: Oh, I know exactly what you mean. She wears those short skirts and tight tops.
A: She's got the biggest boobs. She is just scary!
Meanwhile I am racking my brain. I thought I knew Star Wars pretty good, but I couldn't remember a time when Boba Fett's wife was on the show. In fact, they just cloned him, there was no wife involved whatsoever in the process of making Clone Troopers. Finally, in complete confusion I blurt:
Me: I didn't know Boba Fett had a wife? What part was she in? I just don't remember her!
A & Mom both burst out laughing at my one track mind. They had long since forgotten about Star Wars.
Me: Oh, do you mean Dog the Bounty Hunter?
A: You live in such BOY land!

STOP THE PRESSES!!! Mom watches Dog the Bounty Hunter????? There's so much I don't know about her!!
Our Mom is so much cooler than you ever knew. She used to watch MTV just to see what the kids were watching. I thought it was pretty cool my mom kept up on all the crap kids watched.
By the way I love this story. Jay even had a good laugh yesterday when I told him the story.
