Todays Thoughts The phrase go ahead, make my day In the beginning of the movie, Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) goes into a diner for a morning cup of coffee. The waitress discreetly pours a copious amount of sugar into his coffee, and when Callahan returns to complain after taking a drink of it, he discovers a robbery is in progress. He kills the robbers in a shootout. However, a surviving robber grabs the fleeing waitress Loretta holds his gun to her head, and threatens to shoot. Instead of backing off, Harry points his revolver into the boys face and dares him to shoot, saying with clenched teeth and in his characteristic rough grumble, Go ahead, make my day, When I think about “make my day” it’s not to hold a gun to someone’s head, it rather is to make another person feel better about their day. Because in some small way to lift another up does sometimes make the difference in their day. Be it telling a waitress what a great job she is doing, or helping a student understand a problem they may struggle with. To me this is the meaning of “Make someone’s Day”. MK
