Break it up, kids!
The following conversation took place while driving through Mom’s town, Petaluma, on Sunday:
Beth: Look, there’s a movie theater.
Me: There are no movie theaters in Petaluma.
(This is completely true. The closest one is in Santa Rosa).
Beth: But it’s right there. And there are names on the sign.
Me: It’s a club.
Beth: But there are names on the sign. “The Dead Kennedys.”
Me: The Dead Kennedys are a band. Like for 25 years.
(Granted, not the same since Jello Biafra left, and I still can’t believe they replaced him with that kid from The Courtship of Eddie’s Father.)
Beth: How on earth do you know that?!
Me: Because I live in the world.
Mom: Girls, stop it.
