Parallels Between My Life and Romantic Movies

What explanation is needed?  It is self-evident that my life is really similar to lots of romantic movies in a variety of obvious ways.  I will elucidate why, for those of you who have common sense.

Dirty Dancing:  Baby and I are both Jewish.  She brings a watermelon to the staff cabins and I also interacted with a watermelon today making preschool lunches.  Neither of us is as good at dancing as Patrick Swayze.

Gone With the Wind:  Scarlett and I both deal with chaos and utter devastation (Civil War and Reconstruction; dinner and bathtime).  We both used to look a lot better before the chaos and devastation ensued.  We both manipulate people (she uses her wiles to get financial help; I use jellybeans to get my kids to poop on the potty).

If you do what I say right now you get to watch SuperWhy

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind:  I no longer remember anything about my relationship prior to having kids.  But I have a vague intuition that I used to really be into him.  (Just kidding, it's a strong intuition.)

Her:  The OS and I are both really into connecting on social media.  We are both named Samantha.

The Notebook: I forget things all the time.  My husband (upon my request/demand) writes things down that we need to remember.  

Sleepless in Seattle: I am often sleepless to the point of hallucination.  I could be in Seattle for all I know.

Pretty Woman:  Nobody wants me in their high-end store during the day either.

The Titanic:  I feel as though I am on a sinking ship often.

Groundhog Day:  Come on, challenge me.
