"Twilight" series.  The Y's went ballistic! You'd have thought she'd brought home a boyfriend!
• One of my older Y's said to me "I can't believe you are letting her read that stuff! It's not even believable; the vampires sparkle in the sun! How ridiculous!  Everyone knows vampires don't sparkle!"
• This coming from someone who thinks it's okay for his younger brother to play "realistic" video games where the object is to shoot people and blow up buildings.
• My daughter, in order to soothe her Ys' feelings, has started to cover her reading material with book covers, so that they can't see what she is reading.  X-pansive.
• Because my Y's know that they are not allowed to hurt a girl, they will satisfy their need for conflict by poking my daughter or invading her space.  She has decided to take up Combat Hapkido "for X-ercise," but she X-hibits restraint when demonstrating on her Y's to save their pride.  X-cellent.
• This young lady began reading the last of the "Twilight" series yesterday.  She suddenly got up, closed the book and announced, "This book is getting weird now.  She's pregnant!  How stupid can she be?"
• My daughter never picked up the book again.  She is… X-traordinary.
