Last night as I was lying in bed I turned to The Husband:
Me: “Hey, what’s the name of the Jetson’s dog?”
Husband: “What?"
Me: "The Jetsons. What was the name of their dog? I can't think of it."
Husband: "Uh….. Leroy, I think.”
Me: “What?! No, EL-roy is the brother, the dog’s name is (thinking…. thinking…) Astro!”
Husband: “Oh, yeah.”
Me: (singing) “Meet George Jetson! His son Elroy. Daughter Judy. Jane, his wife…”
Husband: “Boy.”
Me: “What?”
Husband: “His BOY Elroy. Its ‘boy’ because it rhymes.”
Me: “I don't get it. What's it supposed to rhyme with?"
Husband: "BOY. ELROY."
Me: "Oh…. (after some time) And what was the name of the robot Maid?”
Husband: “I have no idea.”
Me: “Something that starts with an ‘R’..”
Husband: “Yeah, that sou..”
Me: (interrupting) “ROSIE!”
Husband: “Yeah, I think that’s it.”
Me: “Yeah.”
After some silence, sitting in the dark.
Husband: “What made you think about the Jetsons?”
Me: “I don’t know… I just think about them a lot.”
Husband: “Really? That’s weird.”
Me: “Well, I think its because I wish I had that cool contraption they have, where a tube drops down over you and then five seconds later it has done your hair and make-up and has dressed you in the cutest outfit ever.”
Husband: “Weird.”
Me: “Yeah, I guess so. I can’t help it though. I always think about the Jetsons, probably on a daily basis. My mind just always wanders to them. The Jetsons and Rescue Rangers…. (Thinking again…) Hey, what’s the name of the girl mouse on Rescue Rangers?”
Husband: “Gadget. Because she is always fixing everything.”
Me: “Oh yeah… and wasn’t there a fat one too?”
Husband: “Monterey Jack… because he liked cheese.”
Me: “Oh yeah!”
After more silence.
Me: “Wasn’t there another one? I mean, besides Chip and Dale?”
Husband: “No, I think it was just the four of them.”
Me: “Really? I swear they had like, a little guy who was their friend.. like a bug.”
Husband: “Yeah, I think Gadget had a pet lightening bug.”
Me: “What was his name?”
Husband: “I don’t know… Buzz or something…”
Me: “Buzz? That’s a dumb name for a lightening bug. It should have been something like ‘Blinky’, or something… “
Husband: “Yeah, that’s it. I think it was Blinker.”
(SIDE NOTE: His name is actually ‘Zipper”, he’s a green fly and he is NOT Gadget's pet.)
More silence.
Me: “Who was the bad guy?”
Husband: “I don’t know… I think there were lots of bad guys. It changed every episode.”
Me: “FAT CAT!”
Husband: “What?”
Me: “Fat Cat! He was their arch nemesis.”
Husband: “If you say so.”
Me: “I’m positive about this one.”
More silence in the dark.
Husband: (singing) “Chi-chi-chi-CHIP and DALE! Rescue Rangers. Chi-chi-chi-CHIP and DALE!”
Me: (Singing echo) “Rescue Rangers!”
More silence.
Husband: “I can see why you think about Rescue Rangers a lot.”
Me: “Really?”
Husband: “Yeah, that song gets stuck in your head.”
Me: “I know.”
Longest silence yet.
Me: “Hey, remember that one with Baloo?”
Husband: “The Jungle Book?”
Me: “No, the one where they flew a plane… (thinking… thinking… ) Tailspin!”
Husband: “Go to sleep.”
Me: “Yeah… I think about that one a lot too.”
Husband: “GO. TO. SLEEP.”
