Just Between You and I

It seems like we are having these talks a lot lately, but I feel like you and I need to sit down and have another chat. I've been seeing the quizzes you've been taking on MyFace, and I'm a little concerned. This vampire guy that you speak of marrying...this Edward... is that really wise? I mean, yeah, he's a hundred years or so old, so he is not technically a minor, but he is in the body of a 17 year old, is he not? Yes, the actor who plays him in the movie is 23ish, but still. Have you noticed that you are 30ish or 40ish? And married? With children? Also that all of your friends of like age also seem to think he is their one true love? A little cradle-robberish. Also possibly polygamous. And do you really want someone to stand over you and watch you sleep all night? Should we change his name to Clay?

On the plus side, I am happy to report that my sweet teenagers who have friended me are generally not crushing on him as much as you. Or counting down to the movie. Or making slightly uncomfortable lustful comments about him. Or posting pictures from their Twilight parties. Because they didn't have one. So more for you, yes? I do know a ten-year-old that would love to come to your party for the next one, though.

Phew. I've held that in for so long. It's good we had this talk. I feel much better. Now if you will excuse me I have a Lord of the Rings Quiz to take now. Have you met my husband, Strider?

TWILIGHT PARTIES? Seriously? These are books better enjoyed in secret. Or with the excuse that you're reading them to better relate to the kids you work with. (That was my excuse.) The movie was TERRIBLE. TERRIBLE.
