The Andy Griffith show was on.
A Mom next to me asked her tween son if he knew the show. I heard her say something about Mayberry when the tween obviously had no clue what the show was. Then she asked, "Do you know who that little redheaded boy is?" Her tween said, "No."
The Mom said, "That is Rob Reiner, he grew up to become a very famous director of some really famous movies."
I laughed out loud. I just couldn't help myself.
SERIOUSLY lady?!
I know I am at least 5 years younger than you (possibly 10- but I'm felling generous) and even I know that the little redheaded boy is Ron Howard.
I wanted to call *her* a meathead!
I was about to call her out when her son was called.
I mean REALLY??!!!! Gah!
Was it the similar male pattern baldness?
I admit the similar haircut is a little uncanny!!
BUT one is grey and the other RED!!!!
One is Meathead the other Opie AND Richie Cunningham!
One directed The Princess Bride the other Willow.
Both have directed Tom Hanks on several movies.
Soon, both will have done a film adaption of one of Stephen King's books.
Okay! I am starting to get a little weirded out!!!
That mom is still a total douche for not knowing the difference AND for misleading the youth!

I wouldn't have been able to keep my mouth shut!
I would have had to correct that... so wrong!
so does that mean that it was Ron Howard's mom in the diner scene in "When Harry Met Sally"?
Huh? How can she screw that up!!
LOL, but I didn't know that Rob Reiner was Meathead. Of course I know who Meathead was, just didn't know the actor's name. In fact, the name Rob Reiner is familiar to me, and I knew he was some Hollywood type, but I couldn't have told you anything he's done. Ron Howard is another story.
Oh how funny! Maybe she just slipped up in the last name? I would like to think that on the drive home she had an a-ha moment and fixed things. Still it'll be funny when the boy talks to friends and screws up the Rons, lol.
