and no comments about the Barbie doll that said "Math is hard..."
I have been reading as long as I can remember. I used to steal some of my mom's paperback books out of the closet when I was a pre-teen. (Mom read good stuff back then like Stephen King and The Exorcist). We actually have a friend who teases us about our reading and tells us "reading will give you brain cancer". We laugh about it with him and then read some more. His experience comes from not learning to read well because of undiagnosed learning disabilities, even though he is really really smart!
I would love to see this girl rebel against mom by not wearing makeup, getting glasses just so she can look geeky and READING LOTS OF BOOKS! Yup, that is the type of rebelling that I love :-)
