Last night I was talking about the upcoming Jane Eyre movie (which I'm stoked to see :), when my brother asked me who it was written by. After I told him the author was Charlotte Bronte, he said, "Who was that again?"

I started out, "Ok, so Charlotte was, obviously, a Bronte. There were 3 Bronte sisters--"

When he interrupted me and exclaimed, "--oh, like the Kardashians?"

grrrrr...

Once he noticed the glare on my face and my hand clenched in a fist, he laughed and asked, "Are you going to punch me?"

I didn't punch him, but he would have deserved it for such a dreadful degradation. I still can't believe he said that.
