If you’ve got something stupid to say…
…say it quietly.
Overheard in a bookshop during our recent holiday. Delivered in a loud, knowing tone of voice by someone who is plainly quite sure that their opinion on all subjects is the only one worth listening to:
“Terry Pratchett, well, he’s not what you’d call challenging reading… No, more like fairy tales for adults…”
Mr Random and I look at each other aghast. “Idiot,” we say in unison. “Has she never read Small Gods? Jingo? Monstrous Regiment?”
Honestly. People.
