I realized something last night as my Mom was over and we watched Aquaman. I’m not very familiar with this movie but it was almost over and Jason Momoa had just kissed the chick with the red hair. She commented that it was like my Dad.
Not too long ago, she caught the end of Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightley and she also said that Mr. Darcy was also, “Just like [my] Dad.” I appreciate that I can see a faraway look of fondness in my Mom’s eyes when she says things like that. I think it was just about the end of the movie when I asked her why she always says that the leading man looks or acts like my Dad.
She thought for a moment as the movie ended and her answer was clear and concise. She told me, “Only the handsome ones.” Things have changed for me now that I am a woman and I can see how much my Mom and Dad loved each other. I never thought of that when I was young because they were, “Just my Parents.” Now, I see things in a different light and I really liked that my Mom did not deny what I said to her but just explained that it was, “Only the Handsome ones.” I think it is crazy that she thought and thinks that my Dad was handsome but… they DID have five kids.
