Are you going to tell her he's gay, too? I'm glad I'm not you right now!

Ha! No, that hasn't come up, but the whole time she was reading, I was in my room going, "She's about to read it, she's about to read it..." So I was ready when she came running into my room, and jumped on me. How strange to be the first generation to have this particular parental dialogue.

Did she take it well or was she shocked? Did the conversation veer more towards death and dying or the usefulness of pivotal plot conveniences? ;)

She hated that he begged. That really got to her.
