I ♥ my mommy
Feb. 7th, 2010 12:50 amYou know what she found at the thrift store, whilst I was sensibly looking at sweaters?
Two unopened sets of original flavor!Doctor Who DVDs, that's what. (The Tomb of the Cybermen and the Lost in Time Collection of Rare Episodes, neither of which I've seen anything of. Yet.) This should be fun.
I got my mother into Doctor Who perhaps a little over a year ago, incidentally, and we re/watched all of New!Who just in time for her to watch the end of year specials live with Danny and me over winter break, leading to this memorable conversation:
I suppose turnabout is fair play for when I was twelve, deeply immersed in historical Holmesian fandom and, not entirely tongue in cheek, insisting that Sherlock Holmes could have been a real person, and how, theoretically, might one prove otherwise? (This led to my father seriously talking to me about how injecting cocaine, in any solution, would be A BAD IDEA, as though they were actually concerned that this was something that I was somehow going to do.)

SOMEONE, EITHER DANNY OR I, SUBSEQUENTLY LOST TO THE MARCH OF TIME AND MORE MEMORABLE SUBSEQUENT UTTERANCES : *says something which happens to incorporate the term 'sci fi'*
MY MOTHER (as though the introduction of this term into a conversation has for the first time enabled her to express an opinion which heretofore she has been unable to put into words, for a lack of words) : Oh, sci fi! I don't like sci fi!
MAYHAP (*boggling*) : You don't like sci fi? What do you think Doctor Who is, then?
MY MOTHER : That's not sci fi! That's a documentary!
