This One Time? At Band Camp?
“This one time? At band camp?”
I can’t help myself. It’s one of those stupid things that come out my mouth before I can help myself. I ONLY say it when they wear these t-shirts, which my daughter–the budding xylophonist–came downstairs wearing this morning. The older they get the more it irritates them.
“Mom, it’s not funny because we don’t know what it’s from.”
[snicker snicker]
“Either tell us or stop saying it.”
“No.”
In the carpool to school I might have said it again. The neighbor boy commiserated. “My parents say that, too.”
“It’s probably from Bridesmaids.”
“No way. It’s way older. My parents have been saying that since I was like four.”
“I’m going to google it,” said another neighbor. “There’s probably a YouTube video or something.”
God bless the internet.

I say this all the time, with the same results! We also frequently quote “Wedding Crashers” (“Ma! Meatloaf!) and “Role Models” (“Scuse me, I gots to get mah slurpee on”). One of these days, my children will be able to watch all the raunchy movies and share in the laughter. Here’s hoping that’s waaaayyy down the road.

Off at band camp/orchestra camp.
He’s embarrassing.
Wow. I can’t believe we’re so old that kids don’t know where that quote is from! Just another reminder that my age is showing.
My brother quotes everything Griswald (Nation Lampoon movies) and we let my sons watch the christmas one. We finally got the full set of movies for my ten year old and I forgot how dirty the first two are! In a good way but maybe not for a ten year old! xx, alison @crushworthymoms
Hilarious.
We have a similar problem here. Whenever the kids tune us out, we say “Bueller?….Bueller?….Bueller?” Same reaction. They have no idea what it’s from, and I’ve just carbon dated myself into the Age of the Dinosaurs.
