There are 3 scenes from Sixteen Candles, that were so true to our lives, my empathy for Samantha Baker runs deep. Each time I watch the movie I get that car sick feeling, like a ghost that has come back to haunt.
*The anonymous sex quiz falling in to unknown hands.
Makes my heart sink!
*Jake Ryan, finally, getting up the nerve to call Samantha's house and her grandparents answer the phone: "Are you the little bugger who's been calling here and hanging up?"
I can actually feel the tension in my neck start as I think about the dreaded "day after" walk of shame in the High School hallway.
*Grandma Baker saying to Sam and Long Duk Dong: "Wait a minute. I have a wonderful idea! Would you like to go to the dance with Sam?"
O.M.G! This is something that would have happened to Parker.
A pair of Sixteen Candle-watching 40-somethings who are still waiting for Jake Ryan to give them back their panties. Add us on twitter @johnhugheslied and Parker Young on Facebook.
