Parents

[Manardariel]

You people are so lucky! The only grown-ups I know that like, I mean, REALLY like are my Englishteacher, my Historyteacher and the growns ups around here!<BR> My parents are so totally LotR- ignorant, I swear to Varda, it HURTS! My mom got the books from her brother, what, 20 years ago, and when I told her I´d like to read it she goes, "Oh they should be somewhere here." And they were. AND THE PLASTIC FOIL WAS STILL AROUND THEM!! <BR>My dad took me to say FotR, and when we come out, what does he say? "But it´s so UNREALISTIC!" I mean, puleeze. No, it´s called fantasy. Maybe that´s got something to do with his job, but that man only likes cold, hard fact.<P>In short, they are very frustrating. The rest of my family sort of like the movies, and I´m "recruiting" my cousin, making him read The Hobbit and all (he´s only 8), but aoart from that? No chance. When I grow up and still am as obsessed, (which I will be, unless I get ammenisia or smth) I wil be a much leess frustrating parent!<P>PS. What is you people´s problem with Harry Potter??? I keep reading it over and over on this forum, how much it szcks etc, and I just don´t understand it! <BR>(On second thought, maybe I don´t want an answer to that question)
