Like many others of my vintage I have watched every episode of Friends an insane number of times. Not for Rachel's hair, nor Joey's muscles, not even to watch Lisa Kudrow corpsing in almost every scene.No.
Around 9 years ago it occurred to me that Hubbie and I know pretty much all the dialogue from Friends and more worryingly we actually are Monica & Chandler.
If you think this is a bit far fetched allow me to present the evidence.
- Hubbie also does a job that no one understands, although he is not a transponster
- I am obsessed with cleaning and order. I don't make my own cleaning solutions, but I do have a dinner set that we *never* use
- When we got our test results from investigations into why we weren't getting pregnant Hubbie quoted the actual dialogue from the episode where Chandler finds out why they can't either
- we also decided to adopt, but we were not mistaken by the adoption agency for a vicar and a doctor
We are NOT like Monica & Chandler for the following reasons:
- Hubbie has *never* peed on my foot to relieve a jellyfish sting
- I do not have a secret cupboard filled with all my mess
- We did get pregnant and have our gorgeous boy
Talking of whom, in recent months it is becoming clear that our boy is Ross Geller
- he takes forever to say a sentence, he starts talking and drifts off halfway through
- his keyboard playing skills while innovative and entertaining could not be described as good
And of course he's not like Ross because:
- he loves dinosaurs (a bit obvious this one really)
And of course he's not like Ross because:
- he is our son and not my brother (that would be Eastenders wouldn't it ?)
So, we are in fact half of a family sitcom.
I'd rather be half of Friends than Outnumbered though :o)
