My previous post was a prayer to drive the heat away, so imagine my surprise when it started raining immediately after I posted it! It remained pleasant and cool for almost the whole day! Is a genie reading my blog? Anyway, so I don't want to keep blabbering about the weather. It is a strict no-no in interesting conversations. A total mood killer. But I can't help it because it is an essential part of today's post.
Yesterday was a rainy Sunday which sounds ironical when you actually say it aloud. Yeah, I'm a mad creature who speaks to the monitor of the computer. I also like speaking to the t.v just like Sherlock does. I'm not ashamed of it, I consider it a streak of genius in me. So anyway, what does one do on a rainy Sunday? They camp in front of the t.v, obviously. And that is what me and my sister did. No complains when there is a Sherlock marathon running on t.v, right?
So there we were, both of us watching it with our full concentrations and we were occasionally making a comment or two on the cuteness of an actor or the sheer brilliance of the plot and the writing, when my dad comes into the room*CRINGE* Now, though he is also the type who is prone to becoming a couch potato, he hates to see us stuck in front of the t.v. Yes, I know, dad logic.
So my sister and I protest against this logic verbally, seeing it falling flat, we decide to try another technique. We convince our dad that what we are watching is very intellectual (truly), is a classic (true) and better than any show that ever came on t.v ( true again). He seemed a bit convinced and sat down beside us. As any other human would, he got hooked. Me and sis were sharing victory smiles when it dawned on both of us.....What? We were both remembering the 'Phenomena'.
The 'Phenomena' here is that every time, us kids, find an obsession, my dad gets hooked too. And our dinner table discussions are dominated by the present obsession and my hapless mom just ends up with useless trivia knowledge about a topic that she has no interest in. In the end we become a super-geeky family. Remember my first post? This is why we are a hilarious lot!
I distinctly remember this 'Phenomena' when I discovered Harry Potter. Me and sis kept talking, thinking and giggling about it all day. We were the classic fangirls (still are). No sooner did my dad join our 'Harry Potter club', we were all obsessed with it and kept talking and thinking about it, but this time,united, as a family. My mom knew every obscure character in the series, she was not sure why though.
This funny thing happend again with Iron-Man, The Amazing Spiderman and many other times. I am predicting future dinner table discussions about Sherlock already.
Thanks to this 'Phenomena' though, I realise that maybe genes do play a role in our preferences and we end up bonding a little more everytime this happens. Does this happen to any of you? Is this a common thing in other households? See ya'll! Bye!
