Moon Memories: Child's Play 2 (On Cable)

Right around the time that CHILD'S PLAY 2 was first being shown on cable television, my cousin

Adam was spending the night at my house. After our usual Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figure fights, we settled down to watch Chucky do his thing on TV.

I remember very few moments from this particular viewing, but I do recall Adam's reaction when one of the characters drove into frame in a red car--which I now know to be a 1986 Ford Taurus station wagon.

"Wow!", he shouted, likely spraying sour cream and onion potato chips across the room. "That's a nice car!"

"Uh, yeah," I said outwardly.

But inside, I was thinking, "What an idiot."
