It used to be that people would gather together with their neighbors to watch stuff like hangings, witch burnings, and head severings. Which, I mean, I guess was good times? I don’t know. Sounds kinda gross to me.
There aren’t quite as many witch burnings today, so we have to settle for the modern-day equivalents. Things like car chases, high-profile jury verdicts, and $2 tank top day at Old Navy.
Also, Harry Potter. And freeway closures.
Today is one of those serendipitous days where two very important cultural events are happening at the same time.
Of course I’m talking about the day we get to see Alan Rickman cry (we better or I’m never going to another Harry Potter movie again!) and the day Tim Conway, Jr. comes back from vacation.
It’s gonna be such a great day!
P.S. Yes, I am wearing Harry Potter pendants made out of Shrinky Dinks. Because I’m super nerdy cool. And also because I’m a fun mom who did fun stuff with her kid in 2007 on his 8th birthday. Like make Harry Potter Shrinky Dink art and take him to midnight book release parties.
P.P.S. Yes, I did write about head severings and Shrinky Dinks in the same post.
P.P.P.S. Yes, I will see you at Harry Potter today. I’ll be the one crying. And so will you.
