MOM: Well, this past weekend was one of the good ones. Grace invited some of her friends to the movies on Friday night and then we stopped at a Target to take part in the sneak peak festivities for Breaking Dawn Part 2 and to grab the Part 1 DVD at midnight. Often there are comments from adults (and some teens believe it or not) that they like the books and such but do not understand the phenomenon. This view is comprehensible; however, the point is being missed. This story belongs to this generation. It is a part of what binds them together. The girls had fun even though they waited in this line, that line, and then yet another line. Why would this be enjoyable? The answer is people. While they camped out, everyone present chit-chatted with each other and sipped on Starbucks. We met other mothers and daughters, girlfriends, and yes, even their boyfriends who tagged along. Talk was about all things Twilight: favorite characters, favorite scenes, book vs. movie, etc. Certainly, the girls will be able to gossip and giggle about the night’s events during the coming week at school. After all, it was a great experience and isn’t that what we want for our kids…to have one great experience after another.
Sometimes I still don't get it!
