There must be at least one LotR-obsessed person in your house if the following dialogue can occur:

Mum: "Whose Bible is on the sofa?"
Me: "Bible..? I haven't been reading the Bible, for sure, and I don't think Greenie* has either."
Mum: *appears at my doorstep grinning amusedly and holding my very old and dear copy of LotR*

I think that was pretty amusing. My mum is lovely.

Although I wouldn't go as far as to say that it is the Holy Scripture, it is certainly an important book. More in some houses than others as it seems!

Your mum has incredibly great sense of humour
