Me: Dad, I’m going out of town next weekend to an atheist conference.

Dad: More atheist stuff?! Always the atheists…

Me: Yep. And I’m going to Canada next month to talk about the book.

Dad: Just quit all your atheism stuff.

Me: You’re right. I’ll quit tomorrow.

Dad: And what’s this book that came in the mail?

Me: Yay! It finally came! It’s Unaccustomed Earth. Jhumpa Lahiri‘s new book. She’s amazing. And she’s brown. Remember, you saw The Namesake movie? That’s her book, too.

Dad: Oh… Go write a book like her.

Me: … Yeah, I’ll get right on that.

    Yes, and while you’re at it – how about a major Hollywood motion picture, too.

    C’mon Hemant! Quit goofing around with that athiest stuff …

    😉 (Ah, parents.)

  • Sigh….

    Hemant, you’re actually pretty lucky.

    I think I can beat that snippet: http://carmex-junkie.livejournal.com/45706.html

  • Even though everyone in my family knows I’m atheist, I cannot imagine having anywhere close to a similar conversation with any of them.

  • Hemant, you’re coming to TAM too, right? Right? Don’t let me be the only brown person there!

    Also, you’re clearly a loser because not only are you an atheist, you’re also not a doctor or an engineer.

    You never studied enough. 🙂

  • Hemant, you’re coming to TAM too, right? Right? Don’t let me be the only brown person there!

    Trust me, I’d love to go to TAM. But the whole Randi thing is *soooo* expensive! Last year, I went as an SSA rep and most things were covered, but no so this year. And with other conventions coming up, adding TAM would be really tough. Sorry!

    Can I get some details on your Canada trip?

    I believe Facebook to be the work of THE DEVIL, so I don’t have an account.
