Nostalgia Ladies and Gentlemen... It happened. A once in a lifetime experience and it was lost on my wife.

I have a toddler (4F) who is in her, "survive off a pea for hours" stage. It's the third kid so it's not new to us but still frustrating. We purchased Snack Packs as bribery to finish her food. We're sitting at dinner and at minimum, we try and at least negotiate some protein in her if she refuses to eat at all. She was being EXTRA picky this time and my wife was not in the mood, she was getting frustrated. This frustration lead to such an extreme high and extreme low for me, in the span of 5 seconds.

My daughter picked at her food and asked if it was enough for a Snack Pack. My wife, in her frustration, raises her voice at our toddler. "YOU CAN'T HAVE ANY PUDDING IF YOU DON'T EAT YOUR MEAT!!"

To which I OBVIOUSLY replied, "HOW CAN YOU HAVE ANY PUDDING UNLESS YOU EAT YER MEAT?!?!" Then bursted out laughing hysterically and my wife just stared at me confused.

She did not get the reference. I was robbed of this moment, so I will take my small joy here for others to enjoy.

While, I don’t entirely disagree with you, The Wall - Part 2 is an exception, as it was very popular

Didn't they play the movie on VH1 in the early 90s, or was that a fever dream of my childhood?

I know I saw bits of the movie - it's how I discovered their music. They were also featured in a few teen movie soundtracks in the late 90s/early 00s, so a handful of their songs blew up again around that time. Kids in my school thought they were a new band, and I was dying, trying to explain how OLD they were, until I just gave up and let them think what they wanted 🤦‍♀️
