So my girl friend Sharyn and I were talking about favorite cartoons, both new and old. She mentions a series called "The Family Guy" because they did an episode about New Yorkers invading Rhode Island to see peak foliage.
Me, the LA girl, mind reeling. What the *&%$! is peak foliage?
Sharyn, in reminiscence, "Oh, it's so wonderful to see all the leaves turn yellow and bright orange. It truly is a beautiful sight."
Oh, alright, leaves changing color... Wait...
"And sometimes I like to collect the really spectacular ones, put them in ziploc bags with orange zests and mail them off to my girl friends."
Isn't Rhode Island quite a distance from New York? That doesn't make sense...
"Aren't there trees in New York?"
"Of course, Central Park is beautiful during peak foliage."
"So why do you have to drive to Rhode Island?"
"Oh! Because you can see it two weeks earlier!"
Clutching my stomach in sheer pain due to insane bouts of laughter attempting to escape. Sharyn slips out a slight grin, not quite understanding the hilarity of the moment which in turn propels my uncontrollable laughing fit.
"Ah, thanks Sharyn. I needed a good laugh."
