At the late night
double feature picture show.....
Jeffrey is his own foley artist. Providing his own sound effects for the ongoing back seat space battles, hallway lightsaber skirmishes and dining table robot attacks.
I constantly feel as if I am in a Saturday afternoon double feature.
And when he isn't creating the action, he is out looking for ideas for his next blockbuster.
This morning we were waiting to make that famous final turn to drop Alex off at school and an Aston Martin DB9 pulled up along side of us. This is an awesomely expensive car. Alex immediately smashed his face into the window trying to get a closer look. I asked him to please wipe the drool off the glass when he was finished.
And who was driving this $200,000 machine? A kid not much older than Alex. Granted the dad, all decked out in a 3 piece suit and tie was in the passenger seat, but I can guarantee you that if Jeff owned that car no one in the house would be allowed within 50 feet of it, let alone sit behind the wheel or (good lord!) drive it!
After the specs on the Aston were thoroughly discussed by the older boys in the car (Jeff & Alex), the talk shifted to the Bugatti Veyron, discussing it's nuances much the same way some guys throw around sports statics. Jeff was saying that when you stepped on the gas of the Veyron you had better have a long straight road in front of you for at least a good mile.
Jeffrey immediately had to know why.
Jeff told him it was because its such a powerful car and it could get going so fast, so quickly, that it might not be able to stop if something suddenly got in its way.
"And then it would explode?"
"Explode? I don't know if it would explode. My point was that its a very fast car."
"Like a spaceship?"
"Sure like a spaceship..."
"A spaceship would explode if it ran into something."
"Well yes, it might."
"Anything would explode if it ran into something."
In Jeffrey's world, this is an undisputed truth.
Because without explosions his world would be a quiet boring place.
And my afternoons would be more like the Soap network instead of the Sy-Fy channel and I don't think I would enjoy that nearly as much.
