I forced my mom to watch FOTR and TTT cuz I want her to see ROTK, since I'm hoping it'll be incredibly sad (she loves tragedy and sad stuff)

Me: ...so Gollum led Frodo and Sam to the Black to Mordor where they have to destroy the Ring, but it was too heavily guarded.
Mom: Who's Gollum?
Me: [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] The skinny guy that says preciousss.
Mom: Oh, I thought he was ET. Now who's Frodo?
Me: [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] The wimpy hobbit that you think needs braces.
Mom: Oh yeah! Now, where did the trees go? I mean, they were at the tower, then there was ET, and no trees!
Me: [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] THERE ARE 4 HOBBITS! WIMP, SAM, PIPPIN, AND PIPPIN'S FRIEND! PIPPIN AND MERRY WERE WITH THE TREES!
Mom: Oh, I thought Pippin was in the Hobbit. Did you know that I named a cat I had once after him? I thought it was a cute name for a cat. (she never read the book, she just said she was reading the inside flap of the hardcover)
Me: [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] I KNOW!
Just so you know, we went to the 8:30 show and didn't get home till like 12:30 AM. This is basically my mom's character list.
Frodo: Wimp
Sam: Sam or Sean
Merry: Pippin's friend
Pippin: Pippin or my old cat
Aragorn: the guy
Boromir: the evil guy
Legolas: Blondy Boy that never runs out of arrows
Gimli: the short guy with the beard down to his knees
Faramir: the other guy
Haldir: the mean blond guy that dies
Galadriel: Snow White (she finds the seven dwarves getting the Rings funny)
Sauron: the Dark Lord
Saruman: Christopher Lee or the evil wizard that works for the Dark Lord
Wormtongue: the guy with no eyebrows or the guy that works for the evil wizard that works for the Dark Lord
Gollum: ET or Naked Boy
Gandalf: the good wizard that comes back to life or Ian McKellan

Ugh, moms sometimes.
