It's funny..my daughter (14) recently, and innocently enough, asked, were there any SK books I thought she would enjoy?
MehmygodIthoughtthisdaywouldnevercome! Hold on just a sec! I almost fell off the couch in my hurry to get to the garage. She was a little grossed out when I came back with 2 moldy dog eared paperbacks, misshapen and bent from exposure to all elements...the first 2 SK books I ever purchased, both while in my teens..the Bachman short stories and It. I said, I'm giving you my most precious possessions..and I am sure I looked Gollum like. She looked scared.
I then scampered to find my DVD of It and popped it in babbling non stop. Somewhere in the second disc her eyes began to glaze over. I retreated..ok, I went a little overboard and I will self correct. But..one of my coolest parental experiences, short of taking my kids to their first concert, bar none.
