Little sister's birthday today. Backstory: For my dad's birthday, Little Sis got him stuff she probably wanted more than him (Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Forrest Gump, and a Harry Potter movie), thus I feel obliged to give the minimum necessary to maintain moral superiority (I got him Gran Torino. He's a guy, thus he loved it.)

So I regifted her two YA books about fairies I bought as research, and grabbed a Marvel Adventures Avengers digest on the way home from work. Thus do I give an awesome birthday present and support well-written comics in one fell swoop.

Little Sis: (paging through MAA digest) Who knew Wolverine was short?

Me: Uh... everyone?

She also did not know who Luke Cage was, because he doesn't have a movie. I'd applaud her hopefully burgeoning interest in Power Man, only I'm pretty sure the same thing once happened to Brian Michael Bendis. And we all know how that ended.

Little sisters are EVIL. I know, i have one of those as well. I think she is in her room right now, sacrificing babies, or goats, or something. Or, god have mercy on her putrid soul, READING F%$KING TWILIGHT!!!

This reminds of when I got my dad some James Bond game for the PS2, something that I wanted too. I don't think he ever got to play it.
