Everyone totally overreacted to Hurricane Irene last year, which ended up just being a really rainy evening. So when people started freaking out about Hurricane Sandy and essentially preparing for the apocalypse I was like:
But several days later, in Sandy’s aftermath I’m like:
Henry, Age 8, chose Pretty Woman over The Fifth Element.
Henry:Why is she wearing those huge boots?
Me:Do you know what a hooker is?
Henry:Yes.
Me:How?
Henry:An episode of The New Girl.
Henry:If Vivian's roomate spent the rent money on drugs, couldn't she just call the cops on her?
Henry:What did she say about your foot being the same length as your arm? Is she a nerd hooker?
Me:I'm going to fast-forward any sex stuff.
Henry:Please.
Henry:Oh My god she has a toupee? The blonde hair is a wig? Her long hair is way prettier.
Henry:This guy is a good actor (Jason Alexander)
Henry:Why did Edward say "stay in the shallow end" of the tub?
Me:It was a joke.
Henry:Not funny.
Henry:Oh man she needs new clothes now.
Henry:Why are those women in the store so idiotic? They kicked her out because of that outfit? She was going to spend money in their shop! EL STUPIDO.

Henry:The hotel manager is like, SHE IS AWESOME.
Henry:What are they watching? HORSE GOLF OR SOMETHING?
Henry:Yup, this is horse golf.
Henry:Vivian is going to be really mad at Edward for telling him she's a hooker.
Henry:Oh she's wearing the red dress from the commercial. She's going to laugh and he's going to do the clam book joke on her hand.
Henry:Does the elevator guy just stand in the elevator all day? That's a terrible job. I bet some guys just stand in there and play Angry Birds all day.
Henry:It takes 3 minutes to get to China from Calgary on a rocket. Sal told me that, but Sal is wrong about a lot of stuff.
Henry:If the hotel manager liked her so much, he should have given her a job in that hotel.
She heard the cheering crowd, saw the signs waving as if in slow motion. All those watery eyes, those tight expressions of hope and want painted across the faces in the crowd. She saw the lights, blaring warm and bright, the sea of people, all awash in a moment, a great heaving forward, a mass of…
