An Afternoon Driving To and From Ikea; Or: I'm actually 12 Years Old

Setting: We're driving home from Ikea. Our trip started at 9:30 a.m. and it's now 2:30. It's our second trip from the store, due to the fact that I was buying an apartment worth of stuff. I'm tired.

The back door of my dad's SUV is open and my newly purchased couch is slightly sticking out. It's around 98 degrees out. The air conditioner is blasting, but not too successfully.

Dad: Do you feel the heat coming in? It's taking over the air conditioner.
Me: Yeah, it's like when Harry and Voldemort's wands met and tried to out-spell one another.
Dad: ...

End Scene.

Perfect analogy! Your dad didn't get it? I'm sure mine wouldn't either, if that helps.

The heat sucks so bad. I just prefer to sit inside all day, thanks very much.

I was just listening to HP & the Goblet of Fire this morning, the part where Harry's and Voldemort's wands meet and battle it out!

Oh my parents would definitely react that way too! I'm too much in love with Harry Potter too so I'll keep on saying stuff like that :p

Ah ha ha ha! That was brilliant. If I'd have said that, my dad would have been like, "You sad git!" :-D Love it.
