This Is From Watching Too Much
… of Gilmore Girls. I am on the verge of tears. Why? I’m watching an episode in season 4 where Lane, Korean daughter of very strict Korean mother, sneaks out to go to a band gig, her first band gig ever. However, she didn’t leave a note or anything of that sort and left as soon as her mother fell asleep. Rory, best friend of Lane, calls her mother, Lorelai, best friend (and mother) of Rory, to tell her what Lane had done and Lorelai says that what Lane did was not a good thing to do and as a fellow mother, she needed to give Lane’s mother a call.
When Lorelai calls, she tells Mrs. Kim, Lane’s mother, that Lane is not there, but is safe with Rory at Yale. The scene shoots to Mrs. Kim and behind her, you see all of her house lights on with some Korean people in the background praying and holding a candle as well as firemen in the house. Mrs. Kim was so worried about Lane that she completely freaked out and called everyone she could. You could see tears in her eyes because she was so upset by the entire thing.
So why am I crying? Well, one, crying is contagious for me. Two, I just felt all the love that Mrs. Kim had for Lane. She was so worried, so concerned by Lane’s disappearance that she called everyone she could think of. I mean, I think that when a parent is that stressed out about a kid, you know that s/he really loves the kid, you know?
Anyway, back to the episode.

I remember that episode, I think. Yea, that is a lot of love, that’s also a lot of going overboard with worry, that’s not necessary.
