natural mistake

Rachel's book group read some Jane Austen novel, and Rachel really enjoyed it. She put the movie on our Netflix queue and we sat down to watch it together one evening after the kids were in bed.

A minute in, I sensed that Rachel was getting tense. Another minute went by, and she was very agitated. "I don't remember ANY of this, Joe," she said. Either her memory was starting to fail utterly, or the movie producers had done some horrible abuse to the story.

"That's because you read Pride & Prejudice and this is Sense & Sensibility."

"Thanks. I feel much better now."
