Last Saturday, I took my oldest son RJ to see Monsters University. It was just the two of us, getting out of the house on a rainy day.
In the car on the way, my son was saying he was scared and didn’t want to see the movie, citing a particular scene with a scary library lady. Having not really paid that much attention to the Monsters U previews, I said he must be thinking of something else. In fact, I assumed he was thinking of Ghostbusters. The way he described the scene made me absolutely POSITIVE that he was talking about Ghostbusters. So much so, that I even figured he’d recently watched it at my mother’s house when he stayed over the weekend before.
Well….at the appropriate time in the movie, I saw the scary library monster scene and boy did that make me feel old. Since I couldn’t remember off the top of my head, a quick search says that Ghostbusters came out in 1984. Yep, almost 20 years ago. Old momma is old.
But in my defense, it was an honest assumption. See:
