So mom took me shopping today for my birthday present- a new watch. And boy, is it cool. hehe. it was on sale, so we saved like 150 dollars on it. very cool sleek, black watch. So we're walking through JC Penny's, going up the escalator, and the following conversation ensues. I found it quite amusing.

Me: "Can we go Barnes and Noble on the way home? I'd like to buy a couple of books."
Mom: "Sure! What are you going to get?"
Me: "Oh, i've been reading alot of poetry lately. Thought i'd buy a couple of poetry books."
Mom, laughing: "Poetry, hmm? What kind of poetry? Like..15th century Itialian Poetry?"
Me, with a blank look and an arched brow: "......Yes. How did you know that?"
Mom, with an even blanker look: "You read 15th century Italian Poetry???"

Hehe. When I pulled The Divine Comedy, and Paradise Lost from the bookshelf, mom just blinked, and looked shocked. It was great.
