Mom: Do you know about these "click" books?
Me: clique?
Me: the ya novels?
Mom: Yeah, for adolescent girls. They seem vile
Me: Yes, insipid
Mom: They are fueling a superficial culture and the author seems like a vacuous skeletal bitch.
Me: where did you see her
Mom: I saw her on TV and she was saying that the girls understood that she was being sarcastic and that they saw through the values in the book. I don't think so.
Mom: She is just fueling tween Paris Hiltons.
Me: i think girls dont get irony at that age
Me: they only get cool and uncool
Mom: I agree. But she is totally laughing all the way to the bank in her rolls royce etc.
Mom: I think that junior high is hard enough.
Mom: You know that [redacted popular girl I went to HS with]'s dad is running for [redacted office]in the [redacted] district. He has always been republican and he is pretty much a carpet bagger. I hope that he gets his ass kicked, I think of the girls in the novels as being like [redacted popular girl.]
Me: ah, we are RELATED
Mom: But I think that parents of kids are as bad as the kids. I served dinner at the temple with a woman who had referred to your brother's class in elementary school as the total geeks and nerds.
Me: i hope you slapped her
Mom: No, I should have said something like ..you're right..my kids are hopeless outcasts!
