i feel so personally attacked
my own child who CAN’T EVEN READ just grabbed the baby-sitters club book i was snarking and was like
“mom”
“mom what the hell is this they let these unaccompanied minors including a child BARELY THREE YEARS OLDER THAN I AM NOW sail off into the fucking ocean alone”
“are you actually reading this garbage i’ve lost all respect for you”
and then, even though we read lots and he is very very gentle with books normally, he just opens the book, looks a page very carefully, then stares me dead in the eye while ripping it out like “you know this is justified”
