Too old for HP

[skyring]

My daughter did some babysitting today, and the mother, in
conversation, asked what she did on the weekend. "I was reading the
latest Harry Potter," she said.

"Aren't you a little old for Harry Potter?" the mother aked, regarding
my 19YO daughter skeptically.

"I don't think so; I had to fight both my parents for reading time."

Three cheers for your daughter!

Too old? Too old?? I'll only be too old when there's not a magnifying glass strong enough for me to see the pages. But then there's audio books, so - no! You can never be too old! Pshaw.

Good answer! :-)

My daughter finished the book. My wife and I are each a bit past the halfway point, grabbing the book whenever we get a chance.

Obviously the lady who asked has never read HP herself

LMAO!

I got the same type questions when I went gonzo for HP while living in Japan.

Related to nothing, but commenting since I don't think the PM went through since I usually hear back from you. Did you get the one I sent on Notes from a Small Island?

Off to Broome. Hope all is well with you :)

As Claire said...Hello is one of the best at .2 cents, also eStar if in a pinch and can't find hello which is the same. I couldn't find 'Hello' in Sydney..

Crazy world.

That's really funny! The HP keeps getting older and older - as HP grows up she writes for an older audience so that makes it hard for the children who started onthe younger ones to keep pursuing it.

I had some fun conversations with people at work about HP - I desperately had to talk to someone because those around me had me on sealed lips watch so I had to find some to talk with. one parents was telling me that her copy got stolen by her husband and she had to wait til her daughter finished so she hadn't finished yet. Anyway she was saying she was a bit unsure if she wanted her daughter to find out about "snogging" but I think she was quite amused by it. So that was a laugh!
