When actress Emma Stone made a recent appearance on Conan O'Brien's show she mentioned meeting Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie with her mom at the Golden Globes. "She never drinks, and there was this giant bottle of Moet champagne because they were sponsoring the event, and so she had a lot champagne. She was talking to them about their kids," Stone revealed. "She was like, 'Now you guys must be so tired,' and then she's leaning over me to Angelina Jolie."
It makes me think about how a similar conversation would have gone down if I were seated at the awards show with my dad. (As you probably remember, we recently reunited in an Oxygen Channel-style fashion after 34 years of estrangement. Not that I would necessarily escort him to an award show to which I have been nominated. I'd probably reserve that for someone with whom I have a deeper relationship, such as my repairman or the lady with the eye patch who works at the grocery at the bottom of the hill).
My Dad: "How's it going, guys? Traveling a bit?
Angelina: "Yes, we just got back from Africa. I have been working on some refugee projects."
My Dad: "Yeah, me too."
Angelina: "Terrific. What refugee charities are you working with?"
My Dad: "No, I have been traveling a bit too. They have a new Costco up the turnpike, so I headed up there last Saturday. Big place. Ever been there?"
Angelina: "Do they sell knife sets?"
