So I’m watching Overboard with Jack, wondering if he even gets the whole love story component of the movie, beyond the classic comedy scenes of Goldie Hawn in the water barrel. I so want him to understand, to know that this is one of my all-time favorite love stories EVER, but you can’t tell your kids that, they have to learn it on their own.
And then, at the end, when Goldie Hawn is on the yacht and Kurt Russell is on the Coast Guard boat, and they’re about to reunite….but then there’s a coast guard emergency and they have to turn back…the Coast Guard boat starts to turn away, and there I am, seeing this scene for the umpteenth time, narrating every word in my head, tears are streaming down my face again, and Kurt Russell is on the bow of the boat, yelling at Goldie Hawn, and they’re on the verge of losing each other forever, what does my 13 year old kid yell at the TV?
Jump, Dude! Just jump!
