  • I was in the Orange Park Mall Books-a-Million some time in the last two years and overheard the following conversation between a father and son. I wrote it down on a piece of scrap paper, which I just found while sorting out what I need to take to the conference this week and what I can leave here (and what I should've tossed two years ago).

  • Father:: (tries to show his son the Marvel Comics Encyclopedia)

  • Son:: I guess I'm just one of those strange kids ... who don't like Marvel comics. (The son walked over to his mother, who was on the other side of the store.)

  • Father:: (continuing to flip through the Marvel Comics Encyclopedia on his own and speaking to himself) These'll put some lead in your pencil, all right.
