[apocalypsos]

The conversation I just had with my mother, and you have to imagine me saying all of this through sheepish laughter:

Me: Oh, it's so bad.
Mom: (disappointed) Really?
Me: It's not even a first book, and ... and the passive voice, and the excessive use of epithets ...
Mom: (lost) Oh ...
Me: I swear, it's not you, it's me. I'm anal and elitist.

And also:

Me: Mom, think of it this way. If I took you to a miniature golf tournament played by middle-schoolers, would you like it?
Mom: Probably not.
Me: Exactly.

Ha! you know what's awesome about this post? I totally read it without knowing what book you were talking about but the first to pop to mind was the Da Vinci Code. I feel vindicated.
