I received a giftcard for Netflix at Christmas time and eventually I
got myself all hooked up (don’t ask). I
began watching “Grace & Frankie” which is an original Netflix series with
Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin. I was quite
surprised by the premise of the show and the humour may be a little dark but
the third episode had me in stitches.
Both Grace and Frankie were in crisis and decided they wanted to smoke a
cigarette so they went to the store to buy a packet. They stood at the counter, waiting and
waiting to get attention but to no avail.
They ended up having a meltdown when they kept being ignored before they
left the store. And there in the car
Frankie opened a pack of cigarettes and lit it.
Grace asks “what, did you steal them?” and Frankie’s response was priceless
“well, if we are invisible they can’t catch us”.
My readers may remember that I had written a blog a couple of years
ago about how middle aged women are invisible, certainly not an original
thought but it is funny when you see it caught on film. Which brings me to the “scandal” of Amy
Schumer being accused of stealing material from other comedians. I saw a couple of the clips and honestly I
didn’t think it was stealing. Those
comments have been spoken by women since time indefinite (putting down men in
one way or another). Whether Amy did or
not is neither here nor there for me; I just want to say that many of us will
have similar thoughts (even word for word) on a wide range of topics. It’s called the human experience because as
you can tell from my blog there are only so many things we can talk about.
Of course, there are many subjects that I don’t write about because
I don’t want to go to jail (okay, this is tongue in cheek, folks). Also, while I have opinions on almost
everything I know that I am not an expert on most of those topics so who am I
to beak off about spanking or skeet shooting?
I think people need to lighten up because let’s face it, no one really
sees or hears you until money is involved!
