My mother bought some huge book from published by Harvard Press about the history of artistic theories or something today. Fahad complained that it was expensive. The following conversation ensued:

Sharmin: Why did you buy that book in particular?
Mom: My thesis adviser told me to get it. I need it for research.
Sharmin: It should be in the library.
Fahad: If you went to Yale, you would find ancient manuscripts in the library.
Sharmin: [pause followed hysterical laughter]
Fahad: I took a virtual tour of Yale today.

I think Fahad still hasn't gotten over the fact that he isn't applying to Dartmouth.
