Two thoughts about my family.

[conuly]

1. Watching the first episode of The Flash with my mom was a rather unsatisfying experience. She snarked endlessly, in the mean way. However, midway through she got into it, and revealed that she sees all, knows all!

So Wells gave his mea culpa which, in hindsight, is an actual admission of guilt for what he actually did and my mother went "Oh, so now he's saying he really did it on purpose?" (which he did, of course)

Me: Uh... what makes you say that?
Mommy: He has nerdy glasses.

Well, I suppose you can't argue with that...?

I really want to rewatch the show so I can catalog all Cisco's shirts. This is a thing that I am going to do.

2. I wonder sometimes if my family is perhaps a little too erudite. Jennifer sent me an email with a link in it and the title "peruse". What, is the word "read" overdone now? (And for the record, Jenn, I'm not sure I agree with all their substitutions. Also, did you buy I Am Going To Take A Nap yet? OMG GUYS THERE IS A NEW ELEPHANT AND PIGGIE BOOK AND I LOVE ELEPHANT AND PIGGIE BOOKS OMG SO VERY MUCH.)

I agree re substitutions. In particular, Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day MUST STAY. Also, you know my feelings on people's constant mis-interpretation of Munsch as Sincere and Serious rather than his clear Over-the-Top Ridiculpus.

It's like we're sisters.

(Admittedly, Munsch misses the mark with Love You Forever, but given his personal life circumstances at the time I'll give him a pass.)
