And I, the precious firstborn daughter, who was a 12yo little girl who still watched Barbie movies, did not need to read such things. My mother, who is probably still in 1st place for ‘most over-protective parent’ in our zip code, had heard through the soccer-mom grapevine that there was adult content in Twilight. I wanted to Be Cool, so I begged my parents to take me to Borders so I could spend my last tooth-fairy money on Twilight. Everyone I knew was reading it even the girls who’d complained of reading in elementary school walked around carrying the books and had Team-So-and-So shirts. I really really wanted to read Twilight when I started middle school and it was The Thing To Read.
