if she starts playing dungeons and dragons...

i'll admit it. i make fun of grown men who read comic books.

(oh, excuse me, graphic novels)

whatEVER.

jeff reads them. collects them. has titles ordered for him at the comic book store so that every wednesday they are ready to be picked up (did you know that new comic books came out on wednesdays? neither did i until i married jeff. not when i was dating him, mind you. MARRIED. he waited until we were legally bonded to spring the secret comic book obsession on me.)

so the point. if it's not bad enough my otherwise normal husband reads comic books, now my daughter is starting to. she loves them. asks jeff to look at them and asks where batman and superman are.

she'll never get a date to the prom.

Not to depress you further, but the 3rd grade at our school is part of a charter program - READING COMIC BOOKS! They'll read, learn the "literary genre" and then write comics. Can you believe? (Of course, as you can imagine the kids are way psyched! As Jeff would be, I'd guess...)
