Head
Whuffle recently sent me an article about the Giant 'head' found floating in Hudson River
I was reminded of an incident back in the mid to late 1990's when I was in a mall with my mother. She wanted to get my sister R___ a copy of the Monkees movie "Head" and she kept talking about how she wondered if she should "Just give R___ Head for her birthday," or if she "would need more or she'd feel cheated." During the conversation, the topic of which I was desperately trying to change, she kept enthusiastically talking about how she was "definitely giving R___ Head," how "she's been pestering me for it forever," and and how "She deserved it."
I could tell from the looks we were getting that not many people suspected my mother was discussing a movie.
To this day, oversize, detached heads remind me of that very uncomfortable conversation. One does not appreciate how often oversize, detached heads factor into life until one has reason to be embarrassed by them.
