[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I predict only moms will be in the theater. My 11 and 14 year olds would not be caught dead seeing this, especially with me. They are too cool for school now. Sigh.[/quote]

I'm forcing my teenage boys to see it with me. It'll be exquisite torture.[/quote]

seriously?  Why?[/quote]

I took my 9- and 13-year-old boys to see it last night. They both loved it. They laughed a lot. Before we went I told them how much the book meant to me when I was growing up. I told them Grandma never talked to me about stuff like periods or getting boobs or liking boys so the book helped me feel not so alone. At no point did I feel uncomfortable (nor did they). But, I’ve always been open with them about stuff. I’m hopeful that if we talk openly about the stuff that was shrouded in secrecy and shame when I was growing up then they’ll feel comfortable talking to me about anything as they get older. Anyway, on the drive home I said hopefully the movie gives them some insight and empathy about what girls their age are going through and they agreed it did.[/quote]
