Ok here's the story about how I lied about having seen Twin Peaks accidentally for 25 years and then got caught.
It came out in 1991. I was 10. That is Too Young. But I had friends who's mothers were not my mother and they were allowed to watch. They were cooler than I was.

And I knew it! And I was sad. But I was really good at lying! Let's call it improv. So I just played along that I'd seen it too. I read what I could and picked up enough context that I could join in the inside jokes.
I knew if a bump in the night happened at a sleepover to yell "It's Bob!!" and everyone would shriek and I would feel cool.
Ok so the problem is I kept some of these friends. All through high school and college.

I could have gone back at watched it, but I kinda forgot I never actually had? I knew Laura Palmer, and Bob, and the red lodge, and the woman with the log, somewhere between 10 and 35 I totally erased that I had never really seen the show.
So I'm 35, dating someone I've known for 20 years, annd David Lynch makes his last big announcement — only all it is is footage of him drinking coffee while the Twin Peaks theme plays.
My boyfriend loses it, he knows what it means, EVERYONE who *actually* saw the show does.

And I just blankly go "what? what am I supposed to get?" And he says "Twin Peaks. It's coming back." and looks at me confused. He realizes at the same time I do that I have never seen an episode of this show and casually lied about it my entire life and now the jig, she's up.
We spent the next week watching Twin Peaks and wow, you guys, it's really good!
