Quote of the day
4 August 2022 12:17 pmFor bedtime reading with Eaglet, who is 9, we’re currently working through Babysitters Club books. We’d just finished one, and I pulled out the next: Boy-Crazy Stacey and showed it to them.
Eaglet: Oh hell no! :pause: No, no, no.
Upon recovering poise, they asserted they don’t want to read this one but we were going to. And indeed, the titular plot thread (but not the babysitting+friendship shenanigans) is being hate-read—something I hadn’t known Eaglet would do.
Puberty continues to fascinate, but certain pubertal-related activities such as attraction and romance remain a big turn-off.
