A Revelation

[bloodyrosemccoy]

I think I’ve finally put my finger on just what, exactly, feels so wrong about my having joined a liberry teen-focus group: lack of understanding of the basic goal of getting teenagers to read.

All I’m saying is, I was the teenager who inspired whole panels of teachers, counselors, and parents to convene in order to figure out how to get me to stop reading.

I may be out of my depth here.

I always liked the reading comprehension questions after the story, because they were tremendously stupid. You'd get a story like Bob's mother frowned. Her eyes became narrow. "Bob, I am so angry with you right now for digging up my flowerbed!" she shouted, veins popping in her forehead. "You are in SUCH TROUBLE, mister!" and then questions like, "How did Bob's mom feel about him digging up her flowers?"
