And here I'd thought TV couldn't get any weirder

[rj_anderson]

In conversation with my seven-year-old tonight:

HIM: It's weird how in all those old TV shows like Knight Rider and Starsky and Hutch and a third one I saw, I can't remember...

ME (guessing): The Six Million Dollar Man?

HIM: No, not that one so much. But the other ones. They always have, like, people lying around drinking apple juice and wearing zucchinis.

ME: O_o

HIM: I don't know why.

ME: ...

I think you mean bikinis.

HIM: Oh!

ME: (falls over laughing)

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm totally going to call them "zucchinis" from now on.

Your kid is awesome! Apple juice and zucchini's. He's right though, he's made a very astute observation. Those shows did have a lot of juice and skin showing.

So what WAS the show with people in zuchinnis? I guess The Love Boat or Fantasy Island!!!

No, he definitely hasn't seen any of those... I suspect it might have been The Dukes of Hazzard, but we may never know.

There are a lot of shows where people (well, women) wear facial masks with zucchinis or cucumbers or something, though... maybe he did mean what he said?

"Itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny yellow polkadot zucchinis..." Y'know, that actually works.

Is he the same kid who was singing "I like to move it, move it" during the Bible reading at dinner? That kid's a hoot! :-) Does he get his sense of humour from you or his dad?

Have a lovely day! :-)

Thanks for the great laugh! Your kids are awesome! I'll never look at a zucchini I mean bikini, the same way again!

Why the heck didn't I think of that before? Your young'un must have inherited some of the talent.

But can you grow bikinis in your garden?

*giggles helplessly* I wouldn't know why either.
