So we drove past the local fortuneteller's place on the way to Target.

Mom: Boy, she must be doing okay. She's still around.

Ann: There's money in it. I'd be great at it if I could stand the deception and overwhelming guilt.

Mom: Yeah?

Ann: Yeah. I've done it to people and really freaked them out.

Mom: Huh. Kimmie says she's psychic, you know.

Ann: Kimmie feels a draft and thinks it's the legions of Civil War dead come to see her new kitchen.

Mom: And now you say you are?

Ann: Nonono. Kimmie thinks she's psychic. I can make other people think I'm psychic. Much more useful.

Mom: Ah.

HAHAHHAHA. Go team Ann!

The fact that people read so much into what Hogwarts House they seemingly belong in - which no-one would argue is a wholly fictional construction - really highlights for me the fact that people will believe anything. e.g. You were born in April, when the stars (which are, yes, flaming balls of gas billions of light years away, so far away in fact that the light that reaches us from them is OLD and outdated information about what they're currently doing) were doing such and such a thing from the point of view of the third planet from the star Sol, which means your personality and path in life are pre-ordained. HUH?

wow, that was tangential of me.
