Last night at the dinner table, Percy Jackson-obsessed Speed Demon was quizzing his sister on her knowledge of Greek mythology. The conversation went like this:

Speedy: Okay, the god of the sea was...?

Teen Goddess: Poseidon.

Speedy: Correct. And the god of the sky was...?

TG: Zeus.

Speedy: Yep. And the god of the underworld...?

TG: Hades.

Speedy: Right. And who was Ares?

TG: Uh... I don't know.

Speedy: The god of war. And who was Hermes?

TG: No clue.

Speedy: *rolling eyes* The messenger god. And Apollo was the god of...?

TG: Speed skating!!!

Me: (wiping a tear of pride and channeling my inner Long Duk Dong) I've never been so happy in my whole life!
