Gen X Memories

When I was in the Fifth Grade- that was back in the mid-70’s-our teacher let us bring our 45’s ( remember those? ) to class and we would listen to them during lunch ( we didn’t have a cafeteria, we ate in our classroom ).

These songs were two of our favorites and we learned the words and sang them at the the tops of our lungs at recess, on our way to and from school ( buses were a thing of the past at this point in time) and probably any other time we were bored and it was to quiet.

We listened to a lot of songs that were a bit sketchy and do you know what? Nobody got canceled, nobody got sued, nobody went on social media and threatened anyone with a eternal damnation.

That was a long time ago, wasn’t it?

I’ve decided to watch ” The Fall of The House of Usher” on Netflix for two reasons.

One: It’s a FANTASIC  movie.

Two there’s   scene where Roderick Usher is confessing his ‘sin’ and as he’s about to spit it out I said the line before the character on the screen did and that line was

” I knew “.

So simple, so honest, so pure.

What else could that line have been?

Yes I Heard What You Said

RDP Monday: Trifling

A trifle is a yummy desert chock full of fruit and cream and served in a clear dish just so you can see the fruit and sponge with their little faces pressed against the glass waiting for your spoon to plunge into  their soft, vulnerable center and then, as my sons would have said when the were little kids,

” disappeared it all gone “

So I know what the dictionary says ” trifling ” means.

 I just don’t agree with the use of the word. It’s not as fun or tasty.
