[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]DD (15)[/b] is reading "The Odyssey" for school. I am a professor of Greek literature, so I may be biased, haha. But I adore this book, maybe more than any book I've ever read. DD has...different views. She regularly announces that she hates or thinks it's bad, and that's okay, she can have her opinions. But she often makes jokes about its apparent poor quality and has even taken to mocking Homer. Yesterday she claimed at dinner that "Sabrina Carpenter could have written The Odyssey but Odysseus couldn't have written [i]Bed Chem[/i]". [b]This is starting to seem to me that she's trying to get under my skin.[/b] Why is she doing this? If she doesn't like a book that's fine, but why this persistent need to make fun of the book that plays a large foundation in my career? [/quote]

Ya think?   :lol:  :lol:

Of course she is repeatedly dissing your very favorite book of all time to get under your skin.  Your reaction is the point.  You can either joke back about things she loves (Sabrina Carpenter?) or ignore her.  Let it go, let it gooooooo![/quote]
