I have decided that my husband and I are definitely going down the pan, mentally… our conversations get more ridiculous each day:
Kim: I've seen a film that looks good
Me: Ooh, what is it?
Kim: I can't remember but it's about a couple who are married and then they have to … erm, I can't remember but I think it's got Meryl Streep in it
Me: Was it on Netflix or did you see a trailer?
Kim: I can't remember. But I think it's Billy Bob Thornton in it with her
(Several hours of searching - well, it seemed that way - and nothing even comes close)
Me: Did you look yesterday or today or the other day, hun?
Kim: I'm bored now. I can't remember. I can't have this conversation. Fuck it we'll watch something else
Me: (Taurus, stubborn, pedantic) No. We are going to bloody well find it now. Can't you remember where or when it was set?
Kim: (Filling the coal scuttle) La la la la la
Me: One more time… (searches Safari history)… I've found some of the things you looked at 2 days ago. Is this the one? Called Hope Springs?
Kim: Ooh, I dunno… might be. Is Billy Bob Thornton in it?
Me: No, but Tommy Lee Jones is. Oh, AND Meryl Streep.
Kim: THAT's the bugger!!! I knew she was in it. I knew it was him…
Me: (Losing the will to live, banging head against wall….) Anyway, we've seen it. We don't want to watch it again.
Kim: I haven't seen it. Maybe you went with Tracy or your sister.
Me: No. We definitely went together… you have seen this movie.
Kim: Well I don't remember. I do remember us going to see that other one.
Me: What other one?
Kim: That one with wotsername in it…
Me: Who?
Kim: You know… that woman that was in the other thing you like on telly…
Me: What… Downton Abbey
Kim: No. The other thing. Something to do with astrology?
Me: Astrology? Are you mad?
Kim: Anyway, sod the film… footie's on later. Do you want a cup of tea with that Valium? hee hee
I have a sneaky feeling it will only get worse… xxx
