Here is Pensitivity’s task for us this Friday:
You may or not remember these popular movies, be they the originals or remakes, but what do you think they could have been about?
1. The Parent Trap: How my parents might have felt after the birth of their third child
2. The Incredible Journey: That first trip all on your own as a toddler when you slipped out of the bathtub when Mom’s back was turned and ran down the block to your Aunt Mabel’s house at the other end of the block stark naked! (True story)
3. Aladdin: A euphemistic description of a girl’s first sexual encounter.
4. Mission Impossible: The first time you had to parallel park for a driving test.
5. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest: What your next door neighbor shouted over the back fence the day the you scrambled to retrieve the pages of your manuscript the wind had ripped out of your fingers and blown away.
6. The Wind in the Willows: When you slip out of the dinner party into the garden to fart. (Sorry for the indelicacy. I know no euphemism.)
7. Underworld: The real you under the girdle, the waist cincher or in the modern world, beneath the Spanx.
8. Legally Blonde: The results after you actually buy your hair coloring in the drug store instead of shoplifting it
9. The Terminator: Papa, when he flips the front porch lights off and on at ten o’clock during date night’s goodnight kiss
10. The Love Bug: Crabs
