Right Under Her Nose
“Don’t be so hard on yourself. The mom in E.T. had an alien life form living in her house for days and she never noticed,” one brave mother decided to say to reassure the Twitter masses. It’s a great piece of advice to really put things into perspective. Your day wasn’t that bad. At least you didn’t discover an alien life form in your house.
Not only that, but one who had been living there, under your nose, for days on end. How this woman didn’t know this will be a hot button query that’ll keep us up at night. But I guess movies aren’t supposed to be realistic. Now, this begs the question: How much do we really observe on any given day? Judging by the E.T. mom, apparently not enough.
