Parents Just Don’t Understand

Here’s another edition of the Thursday Evening Post. 😃

I’ve been really enjoying seeing all of the trees blooming and flowers coming up! 🌷

Spring is such a BEAUTIFUL time of year! 🩷

I came across this photo that I took in the springtime during my first trip to Japan.

It’s so fun to compare how differently places can look around the world during the various seasons. 💛

I started re-watching the show Parks and Recreation and forgot how HILARIOUS it is! 😂

Season 2, Episode 1 “Pawnee Zoo” begins with this EXTREMELY entertaining rap performance by Leslie Knope.

Ron Swanson is my FAVORITE character in the show. Watch his face during Leslie’s performance. 😂

Lyrics:

Your parents went away on a week’s vacation
They left the keys to the brand new Porsche
Would they mind? Um, well, of course not
I’ll just take it for a little spin
And maybe show it off to a couple of friends
I’ll just cruise around the neighborhood
Well, maybe I shouldn’t
Yeah, of course, I should
Pay attention, here’s the thick of the plot
Pulled up to the corner at the end of my block
That’s when I saw this beautiful girlie-girl walkin’
I picked up my car phone to perpetrate like I was talkin’
The sunroof was open
The music was high
That girl’s hand was steadily movin’ up my thigh
She had opened up three buttons on her shirt so far
I guess that’s why I didn’t notice that police car
I can’t believe it
I made a mistake
My parents are the same no matter time nor place
So to you all you kids all across the land
No need to argue
Parents just don’t understand

I laughed so hard when I learned that the information Ron waits to share is the type of news that someone should NOT WAIT to share! 😂😂😂

I had NO IDEA what song Leslie was rapping and eventually learned that it’s from DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince’s “Parents Just Don’t Understand.”

I definitely do not recognize this song! What do you think of it?

Remembering the The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was a blast from the past though!

I remember my childhood friend saying to me in a sassy way, “What do you mean you don’t know what The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is?”

She made sure that I knew after that! 😂

I remember that she had a HUGE crush on Will Smith! 😃

It’s so funny how all of this came back to me once I figured out which song Leslie was rapping! 🤣

May you find something that makes you laugh today! 😄

May you be well! 💚
