Rerun Relief

So whilst wrapping birthday gifts this morning for some upcoming parties, I flipped on the family channel reruns they show at 11 of The Gilmore Girls and I was reminded of why I loved the show.

Lorelai's character is a young mom of a teenage girl, Rory, who has just had her first break up and is feeling depressed. Lorelai goes into her daughter's room to wake her up for school, she says:

"Hey, I have a huge dilemma that I need your opinion on, am I more beautiful today than I was yesterday?" (Rory groans) "I'm just not sure. At first when I looked at myself in the mirror, I thought yes, definitely, huge improvement, but then I thought maybe it's not that I'm more beautiful today, maybe I was just as beautiful yesterday, but I lacked the self-esteem to recognize it."

Priceless.

*Her character spells Lorelai with an A, my daughter's is spelled ei, and just so you know I had never even seen the show when my Lor was born. I'm not thaaat influenced by television, though if I were to have a son, I'd seriously consider the name Regis.

By the way, this is our family's fav show! When my mom and I get together we watch reruns of this on dvd. I knew I liked you!
