Funny in the 80s
Luke: [age 6] "I thought you said this movie was funny."
Me: "Well, I thought it was when it came out in the 80s."
Luke: "It's not really that funny. I mean, it's not as funny as movies nowadays. Maybe back in the 80s, you just didn't have funny movies, so that anything that was even a little bit funny felt like it was *really* funny. So maybe this was more funny back then."
