Something Suddenly Came Up
I used to be a big fan of the Brady Bunch, like most people. I would faithfully watch the show (reruns of course) every day after school on whatever channel it was on.
One of my favorite episodes is one that can still apply to today in the dating world. It’s the episode where Marsha gets asked out by a cute guy named Doug and says yes to their date for Saturday night. Shortly after that she remembers she had a date with the nerdy Charlie and soon has a dilemma on her hands. She ends up telling Charlie those famous lines ‘Something Suddenly Came Up’.
To make a long story short, Marsha gets hit in the nose by a football (Oh, my nose!), has a swollen face, to which the jock named Doug sees and ends up telling her ‘Something Suddenly Came Up’ and he won’t be able to make it for their date.
Ahh, the memories. Something suddenly came up is a famous line, made popular by this television series. How true it applies in our daily lives, when we are getting blown off or dumped. To say something suddenly came up implies that they’d most likely rather be washing their butt than go out with you.
So the next time you are told that something suddenly came up, take a lesson from the Brady Bunch and just throw a football at their nose.
