Me: “Did I tell you about the newest book we’re reading in my senior seminar?”
Mom: “Yes! Yes.”
Me: “I did?”
Mom: “No.”
It reminds me of Jim’s wife from the Vicar of Dibley. Wikipedia sums it up quite nicely: “Jim Trott is a Parish Council member, who has an idiosyncratic way of saying “no no no no no…” before almost everything he says, most of all “yes”. This stuttering once led him to lose on Deal or No Deal. His wife Doris does the opposite, saying “yes yes yes yes yes …”. Jim was a good dancer, though a long-winded singer. Despite his marriage, he still has no qualms about joining Owen in flirting with the Vicar, frequently commenting on her “lovely arse”. He is also openly promiscuous with a penchant for Asian women. In the final episode, he proposed to the vicar, suggesting that he has either divorced his wife, that she has died prior to this episode or is willing to commit bigamy.” Anyone know what in the heck I’m talking about? Watch this (around 4:01) to see why I cracked up after my mom said that.
