Nanny Interview with 20-year-old:
Molly: Oh! Where did you go on vacation in California?
Nanny: San Diego, my cousin's fiance is in the Marines ... He's stationed at ... Ummm ...
Molly: Camp Pendleton?
Nanny: No ... Miramar?
Molly: Oh! Miramar! Like in "Top Gun."
Nanny: (Blank look) What?
Molly: You know, "Top Gun," the movie?
Nanny: (Vaguely) Oh...yeah...I think I saw that movie once.
Next thing you know we'll have to explain who Chunk and Long Duck Dong are ... Sheesh.
Wow. That generation is so unfortunate. :) You totally gave me a laugh tonight.
ReplyDeleteDon't make any references to Long Duck Dong or the young nanny candidate might cross you off her list!
ReplyDeleteMy mom pointed out that she wouldn't know the movie b/c she wasn't born yet. Duh
