My mum: What is it you're going to see?
Uncle Derek: Fantastic Four
My mum: Like the Enid Blyton books?
Me: No, like the comic.
My mum: Never heard of it.
Me: You know, The Thing, The Invisible Woman, Mr. Fantastic...
Uncle Derek: The fire guy!
Me: Yeah, the Human Torch.
Mum looks at me blankly.
Me: Johnny Storm? Mum, me and Dad had a whole conversation right in front of you when the first one came out. This one is the Rise of the Silver Surfer....which you probably don't know who that is either.
Mum: Oh! This guy on the CB! His handle was the Silver Surfer.
Me: ....no, mum, he's a comic book character.
Mum: Well, who was the bad guy in it?
Me: Dr. Doom
Mum: You mean that guy who talks to animals?
At this point, I had to leave the room, I was laughing too hard.
