Last Friday I drove my mother, cousin Ann, Ann's sister Wilma and my four year old to Arkansas for the family reunion. An hour in this conversation occurred:
Ann: Did ya'll see David Letterman with...oh, what's his name? He was in that movie...??? You know....
Me: Oh, yeah, THAT MOVIE.
Mother: What was the name of the movie?
Ann: Uh...it was one word....
Me: That narrows it down, Ann.
Mom: Was it funny or sad?
Ann: It was funny...
Me: Someone please kill me.
Wilma: Oh, yeah the one with the box of chocolates in it?
Me: Forrest Gump?
Ann: Oh! And I said it was one word! Tee Hee. That's two words.
Mom: I love that movie.
Wilma: Now, who was in that....
Me: Tom Hanks. You're talking about Tom Hanks?
Ann: Oh, it was Billy Crystal!
Me: Billy Crystal! Where did he come from?
Ann: He was on David Letterman!
Me: Why were we talking about Forrest Gump?
Wilma: I don't know. I guess I thought that's what Ann was talking about....
Ann: He had this donkey......
Mom: A donkey!
Ann: Yes, a donkey. Because he was promoting some movies that were coming out together....you know those three movies he was in...
Wilma: Oh, he was...
Mom: What movies?
Ann: Well, let me see...
Me: CITY SLICKERS!
Mom, Ann, and Wilma: Ooooh!!
Tip of the iceberg, people. Tip. Of. The. Iceberg.
