Oh, and just because...

My mother finished reading Twilight tonight. (Back story: My thirteen-year-old sister is not much of a reader at all, and my mom bought Twilight for her to read this summer, since apparently all the cool middle school girls in our area are reading it now. Bit behind the times, aren't they? Of course, after hearing my stories about the ridiculousness that is Twilight, she finally decided she wanted to read it, if only to see exactly what my sister would be reading.)

So basically, I've been playing an ongoing game of Horrify the Twilight n00b for the past few days, and it's been awesome. A few of my favorite reactions:

Mom: [before she's even gotten halfway through the book] So...there are how many books in this series?
Me: Three more after this one.
Mom: But...what the hell else could happen?! It's so long but nothing happens!
Me: [mentally] Just wait til the second half of Breaking Dawn...

Mom: Their relationship isn't going to go anywhere! He won't screw her, because he'll break her or something...?
Me: *chokes*

Mom: This woman has a degree in English literature?
Me: Yup.
Mom: Are we sure about that? She could be lying.

Mom: And now I want to see the movie, and I don't even know why.
Me: You see? You see?! It sucks you in!

Hee.
