While eating breakfast not to long ago, mom had on the Departed. She was explaining the premise to my sister (and rather badly), afterward we were talking about the actors in it. Soon we got to talking about how short and tall some of the actors that my mom favors [more like she was saying how short or tall they were]. As a joke, I said that Optimus Prime was tall.
When my mom said who was that, I nearly flipped my shit. My expression was almost of one you could find in those rage/meme comics. No. I'm completely serious. Even my sister had an odd look on her face; we were totally floored. How can you /not/ know who Optimus Prime is.
My mom was baffled and asked who he was. Was he some one like Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson or something. I had some sort of sounds coming out of the back of my throat because I was flipping my shit. I swear that my brain shut down or something because as big a Transformers fan as /I/ am, I couldn't believe that she didn't know.
Soon my sister had the heart to tell her that he was a Transformer. And she was all like, of course I don't know who that is, I don't care for that. My mom is a goof, IDEK how I'm related to her sometimes.
But my heart. DEAR MAKER MY HEART.
I don't think we've had a moment like that in a long time.
mom,
