Perspective

Title: Perspective

Rating: G

Summary: A conversation about the A-Team.

Warnings: Silly

Disclaimer. I don't think I actually need one for this. But here's one anyway the A-Team doesn't belong to me. I don't make any money from this. All characters portrayed are fictional and don't represent real people (for example me) in any way. Honest.

Perspective

Daughter: "Hi, Mom, what you watching?"

Mom: "The A-Team, my DVDs arrived today."

Daughter: "Oh yeah, that old show you're always going on about."

Mom: "Why don't you watch for a while?"

Daughter: "Whatever." Sits down. "Who's that guy?"

Mom: "That's BA Baracus."

Daughter: "Talk about the king of bling!"

Mom: "Mr T invented bling."

Daughter: "Who?"

Mom: "Mr T, he played BA, you must have heard of Mr T, everyone in the world has heard of Mr T."

Daughter: "Yeah, sure," (Surreptitiously texts friends to ask 'u hrd of Mr T?') "What about that guy?"

Mom: "That's Hannibal. He's the leader."

Daughter: "Kind of old isn't he? What's he wearing?"

Mom: "A monster suit. He's playing a monster in a movie."

Daughter: "Eh? So how come he isn't wearing a motion capture suit?"

Mom: "They didn't have CGI back then. It was a guy in a rubber suit."

Daughter: "That's not very scary."

Mom: Sighs. Perks up. "Ooh, Face is wearing the light blue sports jacket."

Daughter: "Face? That the metro looking one? The one you've got a crush on?"

Mom: "Had a crush on. Had. I'm a grown woman I don't have crushes any more."

Daughter: "So why did you offer to fight Aunt Vera when she said Orlando Bloom was kind of sissy looking?"

Mom: "Ahem, I don't remember that. The guy who played Face played Starbuck in the original Battlestar Galactica.

Daughter: "But, Mom, Starbuck is a girl. What was he in drag?"

Mom: Sighs again. "Yes, dear, he was in drag."

Daughter: "What's happening now?"

Mom: "Face is calling the team."

Daughter: "Eh? What's he doing?"

Mom: "He's using a pay phone."

Daughter: "A what?"

Mom: "It's a phone in the street, you put money into it and make a call."

Daughter: "Weird. Why doesn't he just use his cell?"

Mom: "They didn't have them back then."

Daughter: "Huh?"

Mom: "Cell phones, they didn't have them back then."

Daughter: "What, was this made in the stone age?"

Mom: Sighs again.

Daughter: "Who's that guy?"

Mom: "That's Murdock."

Daughter: "How come he's wearing his baseball cap the wrong way round?"

Mom: "Actually, technically speaking that's the right way round."

Daughter: "God, this show is sooo strange. Whoa! What's going on?"

Mom: "It's a fight."

Daughter: "A fight? But they're just hitting each other with their fists. Isn't there any martial arts? Or wire work?"

Mom: "No. But sometimes one of them jumps off of something high onto one of the bad guys."

Daughter: "Er, no Mom, sometimes a fat guy in a wig jumps off something high onto a bad guy. Jeez haven't these people ever heard of face replacement?"

Mom: "Actually, yes."

A few moments of silence as the show plays on.

Mom: "Do you want a soda?"

Daughter: "Shh! I'm missing the show! This Murdock guy is kind of cool."

Mom: Smiling. "My work here is done."

Beep. 1 Message received. 'Mr who?'
