I don’t need to say anything except – watch this mind-blowing video! Fantastic, futuristic -it’s like something out of The Matrix!
The strange part is that I’ve been discussing essentially the same thing with my son the past couple of years – only I thought the concept would be translated into reality about ten to twenty years hence. The video below just shows how much I’m off in my estimation of technological progress…
These last two years, my son, Arjun, has been showing a healthy (whatever that means!) interest in the opposite sex – and I have been privy to his elation as well as his heartbreaks…
We are very close – he often says I’m more like the older sister he never had than mother – I can nag, chivvy, mercilessly tease – or share a joke and even music I come across – this hip hop dance track Good Vibrations by Marky Mark & the Funky Bunch (featuring soul artiste Loleatta Holloway) that I saw on VH1’s Cardio Video is a recent example!
Only later did I realize that Marky Mark and Mark Wahlenberg are one and the same! What a turn-around now compared to his bad-boy adolescent years!
Anyway, back to sonny’s love life! Here’s a transcript of a year-old conversation:
Sonny: You know, X isn’t really my type…
X was Sonny’s first girlfriend.
Me: What do you mean?
Sonny: Well, er… (with a slightly embarrassed laugh) she’s too, um, well-endowed - and she’s short!
Me: Desperation shows.
Sonny: Mom!!!
Me: Er, what’s your type anyway?
Sonny: (dreamily) Slim, athletic…
Me: (innocently) Oh! Well, I suppose opposites do attract…
Sonny makes a thunderous leap in my direction, muttering threats – and gives chase when I quickly scoot into the next room. We then have a mock scuffle that ends in a hug!
I really enjoy this complex, caring, maddeningly irritating, talented teen…

I relish creative stuff and commercials with a dash of humor always catch my eye. This one made me laugh aloud – because an almost parallel story line runs at home! My not-so-young son sometimes regresses into childhood and gives me a a long hug or a nuzzle – and hubby dearest looks daggers at sonny from his corner… Only (according to Wilkinson) hubby’s not anywhere in the competition – because he wears a full beard!

The nicest thing about this video is that it’s just 10 seconds long, so it doesn’t take ages to load! Have a laugh at the crazy denouement! I’m not sure whether it just happened accidentally or it was planned! Some people think it’s fake – a video that was mixed on something like Sony Vegas Pro. What do you think? Whatever it was, the end result is hilarious!
