Day 20 - A childhood anecdote
My Dad used to tell me when I was too young to stay up on New Year’s Eve that if everyone wasn’t in their own beds by midnight they would go back in time like in Back to the Future… I’m sure it stemmed from us watching Back to the Future every New Year’s Day and me desperately wanting to go to Grandma’s until midnight to see what all of the fuss about.
Then one year my parents had a New Year’s party.. Imagine my horror as I lay on my bedroom floor with my ear to the heating grate listening to all of the happy voices downstairs of people that were all going to be transported back in time…
This year I am flying all the way across the country to sleep in someone else’s bed for New Year’s… and with any luck I can convince him to stay in and watch Back to the Future with me all night. ;)
