Let The Teenager In
Someone help me. There’s a teenager in our house. And the teenager is not one of my kids. She’s my wife. It’s true. Ever since she saw Twilight, she devolved back into a teenager. My wife, who generally dislikes vampire movies, is obsessed with Twilight now. She purchased the Twilight box set at Costco and read them all in four days. Keep in mind my wife doesn’t like to read. That’s why she married me and specified in our marriage contract that I have to do her share of reading for her.
Now my wife, the teenager, frequently checks the Stephenie Meyer website and searches the Internet for the latest Twilight gossip. She also likes to talk to other people about Twilight. For instance, the other day my wife mentioned to the weirdo-in-law that the actor who played Edward will be nude in his next movie. Hello, I do nude scenes too. Off course, that was before the baby was born.
I like Twilight too (both the book and movie), but I think John Ajvide Lindqvist’s Let The Right One In is a better film (I have not read the book yet). Lindqvist’s vampire isn’t pretty and rich like Meyer’s and Ann Rice’s vampires, but Lindqvist’s vampire is more interesting and realistic. Let The Right One In didn’t have a feel good Hollywood ending like Twilight. It’s also a foreign language film so you have to watch the dubbed version or read subtitles. But after the movie was over, I found myself vested in the two main characters. Don’t get me wrong. If I was a vampire, I would like to be handsome and wealthy like Edward. But if vampires really did exist, I think my life as a vampire would be more like the one described in Let The Right One In.
Back to my teenaged, Twilight-obsessed wife. With my kids, I can expect six to seven teenage years from each of them. But I have no idea how long my wife will remain a teenager. Wait, there’s more. My wife has also infected the Little Princess. Now my eight year old is also into Twilight. Even my three year old daughter likes to talk about Edward and Bella. Someone help me please. There’s too much estrogen in the air.

Don’t worry, she will convert back. I was a teenager for a few weeks last year. Now it only happens about once a week or so. I also infected my kids but they were teenagers already.
It’s been over a month already!
Funny. My actual teenager has absolutely NO interest in Twilight. Says she doesn’t get the whole vampire thing. Thank God!

I don’t get it either. I like Twilight, but I don’t understand why so many girls are going ga-ga over it.
Hee hee…
Hugs,
Holly

Wait until your daughter gets hooked. Then we’ll see if you still think this funny.
Oh man – My wife just started reading the first book…I hope she doesn’t revert back to being a teenager!

Good luck. If your wife likes love story, then you’re in trouble.
Great, my wife just saw that one. Let me know if you find an antidote. I don’t care for those kind of movies, I saw only a minute or two of it. ABSOLUTELY nothing appealing to me about it but may be I haven’t been bitten by a vampire yet.

I like scary movies, but Twilight wasn’t scary.
When she gets into Dora, you know she’s regressed too far. :]

But she likes to hang out at the mall and is embarrassed to be seen with me in public.
Like, totally, she should, like, call me and we could, like, talk about Twilight together!
I totally reverted back into a teenager when I was reading the books. Loved the books but not so much the movie. They tried to cram in too many details.

That would be totally cool.
Hmmm, sounds like she has the same symptoms as me. Whenever I watch any movies that are related to teens, for some weird reason I start to revert back. LOL. I don’t know why! I’m 30 next month! It takes awhile for it to wear off. Unless I keep feeding teen movies into my brain.

Sounds like you’re a teenager at heart.
hee hee … you dirty ole man !!
Let the dear woman have her fun – it could be worse … I think, but I’m not sure how … le

Well, she could leave me for Edward and have baby vampires. Then the baby vampires could hunt me down and suck out all my blood. That would be worst.
LOL! 4 days of reading 4 books isn’t that bad… Was hooked for a few weeks last year… Think the effects are wearing off bit by bit now ;) That is unless I’m gonna read the entire 4 books again for the 8th or 9th time time around…
It’s wearing off for my wife. She recently bought the director’s notes from Costco.
LOL! My oldest son, just turned 12, is also completely hooked on these books. So far he’s read the first two. I haven’t read them.

My daughter read the first three, but my wife won’t let her read the last one. That’s the one about making love and babies.
I just read all four books in 6 days. The laundry piled up, and no one got dinner. My 13 year old daughter wanted to read the books so I felt I HAD to read them first to check them out. We are both hooked. My poor husband doesn’t understand either. Hang in there. I’m sure she will be back to “normal” in no time.
Julie
In her current “normal” is reading up on the next Twilight movie.
Oh, wait till she reads the host. Then you are seriously in for it.
I’m a Twihard too so can’t help you there. Lol.
