Last night I was reading a list of books that had been banned in some states, thanks to Stumble Upon showing me a few lists. Skimming over the list, I saw Bridge to Terabithiaa was banned in some states because a handful of parents claimed the magic used as well as mentioned was a thin veil for Satanism.
I rolled my eyes and turned my chair around to Shawn, gesturing wildly at my monitor, curling my lip to show my disdain. "I'm reading these lists, these lists of books banned?" I point at the screen as if he can see it where he sits at his desk as he swivels his chair to face me. "Bridge to Terabithia is on this list! That's just ridiculous!" I snort derisively. "You know why they banned it? They said that the magic mentioned in the book was just some thinly masked attempt at satanity."
It was one of those moments in my life when my brain had realized what I had said after my mouth went ahead and crapped it out. The momentary silence between me and my husband tinged stunned. Shawn's eye brows began to rise as the beginning sounds of a man trying not to laugh began.
"Satanity?"
"Yes!" Then I flung my hands outward. "No, you know what I mean! Satanit--Satan..SDsad.." I knew it was Satanism but for some reason, I couldn't say it.
"Satanity?" Shawn was still incredulous and starting to laugh.
I gave up, threw my hands down and began the fatality wobble from a certain famous fighting game. In my best Mortal Kombat voice, I said: "Finish him! Satanity!" And then threw the horns up.
When in dumb, give up and go with it. That's what I do.
