A Snippet of Conversation From Last Night:

The Baby Brother: But Candide makes no sense!

Me: The novel makes sense.

Mom: The musical might make more sense to you if you'd seen the first third.

Me: Of course, when we read it for class everyone else thought it made no sense and was generally soul crushing and I was the only one who loved it unreservedly, so maybe I'm the statistical outlier.

Mom: ...You loved Candide?

Me: ...Yes?
