I'm at Jess' family shower when my cell phone rings. I run for my purse and dig frantically through it, thinking, "Everyone who calls me is either at this shower or knows I'm at this shower. It must be an emergency!"
No, it's WS. "HI!" he shouts into the phone. There is music playing at full blast behind him.
"Um, hi?"
"I was gonna leave you a funny message, but this is better! LISTEN!"
He turns the music up louder. Suddenly I recognize the song. It's "Flashdance (What a Feeling)." And it's right at the lyric...
Take your passion/And make it happen
I start to laugh. WS comes back on the phone. "Did you hear it?"
"Yeah! The greatest misheard refrain of all time!"
He laughs, too. And rightfully so. We used to listen to The Full Monty soundtrack in the car on the way to work when I was in college, and whenever "Flashdance" would come on, WS would sing right along: Take your PANTS OFF! And make it happen!
"That is so not what she's singing!" I said once.
"Uh, yeah, it so is," he replied with such confidence that I believed him. For a long, long time.
"Anyway, it came on the radio, and I wanted to share," he says now. "Gotta go, bye!"
God, I love my brother.
