While discussing the hobbit movies with a friends teenage son.
Me: have you ever read the book?.
Kid: no.
Me: really? I had to read it several times in school by your age.
Kid: well i was supposed to read it. But i read the first chapter and the last and skimmed the middle.
Me: thats genius! You get the gist of it without having to read it. (pause) all i had were cliff notes.
Kid: what are cliff notes?
Me: they break down the book you're reading to make it easier. All you have to do is rewrite it in your own words and its easy.
Kid: seems easy.
Me: It is. You should start using them to cheat.
