Afterwords we went to a nearby bookstore to just browse, seeing as how that’s exactly the sort of thing that we haven’t been able to do in a very long time.
While we were there, my wife discovered that they have an entire section dedicated to World of Warcraft fiction. She had somehow, despite being a huge WOW fangirl, missed this phenomenon.
We were discussing these books when I mentioned that there were even Warcraft SAT prep graphic novels.
Wife: Really? How the hell does that work.
Me: They correctly use words that students will need to know, to help them improve their….umm…crap…I can’t remember the word…
Wife: Verbal portion?
Me: No….dammit….that word that means the words that you already know…
Wife: You mean vocabulary?
Me: Yes! Vocabulary!
Wife: (Stifling laughter) You mean the word that you would have remembered if you had one?
Me: Yes. Dammit. Shut up.
Wife: (Now laughing quite loudly) I suppose that the irony here is not lost on you?
Me: *sigh*. No. No it isn’t.
