An Unexpected Reading Topic

(My sister has just started another semester of college. She is an English major and therefore is taking classes that cover a wide variety of literary genres including non-fiction, fantasy, and autobiographies such as Benjamin Franklin’s. She’s also taking a course on Israeli films.)

Sister: *bursts into room* “[My Name], Hiroshima, Hobbits, or Franklin?” *she asks as if this is an urgent decision*

Me: “Hmm…”

Sister: “Or Israel?”

Me: “Hobbits.”

Sister: “Hobbits?”

Me: “Yes. Hobbitses.”

Sister: “Okay.” *walks off to start on one of her assigned reading topics*

Me: “I love that I know exactly what you’re talking about!”
