Imagine the excitement if your wife would have worn Sally's nun habit. Imagine the excitement if your wife would have worn Sally's nun habit.The Flying Nun was a popular show when my wife was in high school which was when she first started getting teased about he resemblance. So she is actually a little sensitive about it. I have to admit that I purposely fanned the flames a little on one occasion. We were waiting in a long line in front of the restaurant outside of Knotts Berry Farms about 30 years ago; they used to have the best fried chicken... others who have eaten there probably remember what it used to be like. It was so much better than KFC. It really tasted like homemade.
My wife had never been there before and was getting a little impatient. Quite a few people had been staring at us, a few had approached her and she had made her obligatory denials. It was hot and she was feeling a little uncomfortable. I forget now exactly what I said, but it was loud enough for others to hear; it was something like, just calm down Sally... blah, blah, blah. And you could see people looking back and whispering "I knew it was her" like dominoes falling as the news traveled to the front of the line. Then after a short delay a couple employees walked down and got us and took us up to a private room. We told them that she was not Sally Field and as usual they said that they didn't care but asked her not to make any more denials as we left.
I guess that you might expect it but if you see pictures of Sally and pictures of my wife as kids they also looked the same and they sound the same and have the same expressions. It is not something that she does on purpose. The difference is that my wife is a little younger and has green eyes. It is just one of those weird things. We were roller coaster junkies back in the early 90s and would fly our small plane down to the LA area fairly frequently. In the Seattle area people would come up to her and say, “Did you know that you look a lot like Sally Field?” Like they were the first to notice.
Of course I am very glad my wife is not the celebrity that she resembles. I met her during a lull in the clebrity's career so I was just gaga over her good looks and wonderful nature so I didn't think about the resemblance when we met. Sally Field is a global warming believing idiot who hangs around with Jane Fonda and got herself arrested at the capitol last year telling people that it was, “Time to get out and scream loud, ‘cause if you don't do it, nobody else will.” I guess she should be impeached.
My wife’s dad was a bit of a player and he was stationed in Southern California after he came back from WWII, during the time that Sally Field was conceived... I have teased my wife for years about that.
