An actual conversation that actually happened

[the_deep_magic]

Sister: Have you guys already seen The Avengers?
Mom: Yes, but we'll see it again with you.
Sister: Eh, it's okay.
Me: No, really, we don't mind.
Mom: I like Thor.
Sister: (contemplating) I guess I wouldn't mind seeing Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk.
Me: Really?  That particular collection of men and it's Mark Ruffalo who tips the scales?
Mom: Not Thor?
Sister: What, you got something against Mark Ruffalo?
Me: No, no, he's good.  I'm just surprised, is all.
Mom: Thor's cute.
Me: Mom, you have any thoughts on the matter?

I'm less surprised that my mom has a crush on Chris Hemsworth (or Thor, at least) than I am that we have something in common.

Edit: Holy crap, something just occurred to me: I should've named my dog Loki.  He's constantly causing trouble, he picks fights with his adopted brother who's roughly three times his size, and (while this is pure speculation), if given the opportunity, he would wear a slightly-silly-yet-bad-ass helmet and say things like "I am burdened with glorious purpose."

So far, Plato has not attempted to enslave the peoples (or the dogs) of Earth.  So far.

Heh, my mom prefers Chris Evans. :) And she can't grasp my favorite...so yeah.

I thought my sister would be all over Chris Evans (er, metaphorically). Perhaps her tastes have matured in college?

I must say, he did it for me in Fantastic Four. The scene with the nakedness and the fire...
That was only 2005. OMG I was still in college.

Fantastic Four was THAT long ago? HOLY CRAP I AM AN OLD LADY WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN.

As for the Loki thing you added, I am going crazy over the fact that my head-canon Loki is apparently Stewie Griffin from Family Guy. My tumblr (http://verifascinating.tumblr.com/) is all over it right now. I am surprised yet gleeful at this turn of events!

My mom likes Chris Hemsworth too. And my oldest sister, and me... actually, all my sisters do. And Robert, we cannot not love him enough, lol.

RDJ is growing on me. It's taken me a while to warm up to him, but I have to admit he's hilarious.

*giggles* Your dog is definitely a Loki. ;)

Yeah, my mom seems to have a thing for Thor too...

I thought my mom would've been a Captain America gal for sure.

I took my mum at the weekend - she didn't admit to a favourite sadly, but she loved it nonetheless.
