This morning I found myself watching old Roseanne episodes and remembered why everyone who knew us thought the show was an accurate depiction of my family back in the day. And I could not have been more like Darlene if I had tried.
Of course, the truth was that I had a crush on Darlene, and my mom later admitted she knew that but kept hoping that maybe I was just happy to see someone actually represent me on TV after so many years of us watching perfect families that we didn't relate to every weekday night.
So this morning while watching a few reruns, I was struck by a memory and posted it to my (usually quiet) facebook page.
I'm watching old Roseanne reruns for some reason this morning, and I had a funny memory that I'd forgotten about. When B and I first met, like the second day we were together, we we had been talking for hours about random shit and I thought it was funny that she reminded me of Darlene because I had such a crush on her when I was young. Later that day, we ended up talking about Roseanne and she told me I reminded her of Darlene. She had a childhood crush on her, too.Dorks like us have to stick together, I think. When you find your Darlene you have to hold on to her! And the crazy family comes with her....
