Oh, superb, CC!
I also giggled through this entire scene. But even though it was so very amusing, it was also incredible poignant. Because somehow, beneath the humor, you've managed to capture that moment when a woman kind of stops viewing herself as young. For the first time she finds herself attracted to a man who is actually "far" younger than she is - and I mean, someone who she might view as almost in a different generation. Not that 27 and 34 are so far apart or are in different generations...I'm bungling what I'm trying to say.
OK - put it this way - for a very long while, the song "Stacy's Mom" was really making me smile and also sending a little twinge to my heart. It sucks to start getting older and to finally realize that. And you've captured those tiny little things people do - going on a shopping spree, feeling jealous of the younger actress - that we do instinctively to ward off that incredible sadness. We fight it, as Carry is doing here.
But this is not heavy - it's light and fun and very well rounded. Love it!
Keep it coming,
Lynn
