“My mom, by contrast, never liked fantasy. When I was little, this made as much sense to me as not liking gravity or Gordon from Sesame Street. "I just like things that are true," she'd say. "Strong people fighting against the elements." I grill her so often on why she wasn't obsessed with dragons LIKE A NORMAL PERSON that it became the catchphrase in our house - strong people fighting against the elements.”
