Epiphany: I like the Backyardigans
posted on: 08:21 PM September 24, 2007
I've never read a Harry Potter book. I watched the first movie and I couldn't see what the fuss was about. I actually thought it was stupid. The next 3 movies were better, but not enough for me to crack open a book. I've lived this way happily for many years. When the last book in the series came out with the mystery apocalyptic ending, I began asking people how it ended. I couldn't find anyone who had read the whole book yet, until today, when a colleague mentioned he had finally finished it. I asked him how it ended and his reply was: "I'll tell you if I really want to know."
Cue an epiphany: I may have to read these books with A-star and B-boy. I suppose I could know ahead of time how it all turns out, but I know that it would ruin the experience of sharing, even though I don't find Harry Potter at all interesting. So I said: "No thanks".
Then I had another epiphany: I'll probably have to share a whole bunch of things with A-star and B-boy that I don't find interesting. I might even find those things stupid.
I guess I'm not telling anybody anything they don't already know.
