So.. I’m in my kitchen cutting off box tops for Munchkin’s school (one of those ‘boxtops for education thingies that they’re doing for Valentines Day) and I’m struck with a case of deja vu. I’m standing there going.. “what does this remind me of?” as I’m sticking the cereal box minus half its top flap back into the cabinet.. and suddenly it dawns on me. There is a scene in the movie Better off Dead where the main character Lane Myer (John Cusack) is pulling out boxes of cereal from the cabinet and the cereal is pouring out all over the countertop & floor because the boxes have holes in them from where his kid brother has clipped the ads on the back to send away for the toys (and working rockets from vacume cleaner parts.. and books on how to pick up loose women..). I am in the house by myself and I’m laughing my ass off over this – the cat is now avoiding me because its clear that my crazy is of the contagious variety.
