On Twilight

The 12 y.o.: So at rehearsal tonight, this 9 year old dude in skinny jeans and Uggs came up to me and asked me if I was reading Twilight.
The Mom: But you’ve already read it.
The 12 y.o.: I’m re-reading it. Anyway. I said yes, I was reading Twilight. And he told me in the gayest voice possible, “I read it and its a REALLY good book.” I don’t know which was scarier – the fact that he read Twilight and he was 9 or that he was a boy and liked it.
