Laz Miz-Rabbles
Sep. 1st, 2013 04:21 pmMom: Your Dad and I watched part of Les Miserables? And that was the most depressing thing.
thegeekgene: Yep!
Me: It's Les Miserables, Mom, that's the title.
Mom: Well, I mean, I knew that, but it's just - he's starving and he steals the bread and everything's awful and he goes to jail and -
thegeekgene: Mom, I've seen the play twice, I know.
(Why did she go to see the play twice? Why?)
I actually had to read the whole unabridged book in high school French (though mostly in English). I recall mainly 1) interminable descriptions of personal woe, 2) digressions into interminable descriptions of unrelated woe for reasons of "context," 3) revolutionaries acting like the Ouran High School Host Club, and 4) me crying a whole lot when Jean died.
Dad's been pronouncing it "Laz Miz-Rabbles" just to mess with me. He's the one who decided to send me to high school with the state's most intense French program, so I don't think it appropriate that he makes fun of me for twitching about that.
