that is pretty nerdy, i must admit ;) ... but it's what i'll do with deathly hallows so i s'pose i can't say anything :)
so...she laughs at you for being a tolkien dork, and she laughed at me for not staying out late with my date.
face it, honey - we're losers, and even our mom knows it.
aww!
:(
oh - and the point was that i said 'straightaway,' not that i was excited to read a paper
is she going to start laughing at our vocabulary now? it's because of her that i understood the word 'antimacassar' when i came across it in my book
but you were reading it "straightaway" b/c you were so excited about it; really, it's funny (and nerdy;) on many levels ;)
and what's antimacassar mean? i s'pose i could look it up, but this way you can add more comments and give me the background story :)
we really are educating you, aren't we chelley?
an antimacassar is the fabric thingy/arm covery thing on a couch or big chair. they are also sometimes on the back. macassar was a kind of hair grease, and to prevent it from getting it on your furniture you put the cloth thing there. plus also you can wash an antimacassar a lot easier than you can wash a couch.
yeah, what's with a mother trying to shrink her child's vocabulary. i told her that it's a terrible thing that our rich language has been weeded down to so few words, which are overused and imprecise.
and what did she say to that, pray tell?
she said, 'i know. my father used to say the same thing. and he was right.' that made me happy. i always like it when she compares me to my grandparents.
i always like it when my mom does that too (about me, not you;)--but it's usually comparing me to my dad that i like :)
oops, that sounded like i have multiple dads and i like being compared to the one i like--that's not what i meant; i meant that she's usually comparing me to my dad, which makes me happy :) (nothing against my grandparents though--i just don't get compared to them as often! k, glad that's cleared up:)
in some book d just read - either 'brave new world' or '1984', language is reduced to 200 words, the reason being that the gov't doesn't want people to think.
scary.
that is scary
