Am I the only person amused by this?

My Mum thinks Hobbits live in kegs, that Gandalf is a giant (well, that was until I told her that Hobbits are the small ones), and she calls The One Ring:"The Wedding Band".

She also says she can't watch past the bit where the Hobbits hide from the Nazgul under the tree's root, because the movie then gets too scary.

But she likes Frodo. And Gandalf, I think.

And she told me that my tastes in men have improved since she saw pictures of Billy and Dom. What she doesn't know is that, well, Billy/Dom are my OTP even though I don't take it half as seriously as other take their OTP's.

LOL!
My mom isn't very interested in LotR, but once she happend to come into my room when I was watching the cave troll-scene where the cave troll chases Frodo around the pillar. My mom kept shrieking every time the troll came around the corner. She frightend me more than the movie!
And she thinks Billy is cute. :)

Mums can be fun, sometimes. But the whole Hobbits in kegs/Gandalf the Giant thing happened while in an electronics store, while talking with the male (and geek/LOTR fan) clerk. The guy was polite about it, but you could tell he was thinking, like, WTF?!
