Who Ya Gonna Call?

Tim always used to say that he had a mind like a steel sieve. He had a terrible time memorizing things, but once he learned something he never forgot it. And once he learned something, he was prone to repeating it, often. The movie "Ghostbusters" clearly hit Tim at an impressionable time, because he had several favorite quotes from this movie. Ghostbusters was on TV the other night and somehow Brendan and I ended up watching the last half of it. We turned it on just as all the ghosts escaped from the containment field and started terrorizing New York. In one of the next scenes, Bill Murray is attempting to explain this to the mayor. "Dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!" Brendan laughed, not because the line is funny, but because he remembered Tim saying it. In the rest of the movie, we were treated to "Don't cross the streams," "Ray, this looks extraordinarily bad," and "Ray, when someone asks if you're a God...say 'Yes!'" Brendan clearly remembered Tim saying all of those at one point or another. I hope that both boys are old enough to retain those memories of their dad.
