- You do something horribly inane at home, and your mother threatens to take away your LotR books, and you burst into tears and start saying, "The thieves!!!! The filthy little thieves!!!! They stole our precious!!!!! Filthy little Baggins!!!!!!" and your mom takes the books away for a week. When she finally gave them back to me, she told me that I should go into either acting or the clown industry (so I could scare little kids). I didn't know whether to take the last part as an insult or a compliment, so I just kept quiet.
