I celebrated my freedom from the 1st sem yesterday with a trip to MOA. Jayce pointed out a bratty little glasses girl who looked like the typical sucker you wouldn't want as a child. I'm referring specifically to the kind of little girl who drags her mum around FullyBooked shouting, "Oh mummy, I just can't understand why all children my age don't read more. Think of what they're missing!"
The bitch
Now I'm not saying we shouldn't teach little girls to read. But we should definitely think about taking their books away if they're going to start getting all gay about it. Books aren't meant to be fun. Children should be all giddy about more important shit like Toys, Ren & stimpy, as well as Cooties.
Anyway, these suck-up little girls need to learn to enjoy books like an adult.
Which means:
A) only reading books because they think they're supposed to
and
B) exclusively reading books that are much too brainy for them just because they've got a nice front cover, then having to spend the duration constantly referring to the little synopsis on the back just to double check what's going on.
You know, like a grown-up.
