fuckwits who like to SPOIL start young...

My 10yo daughter came home from school this afternoon with the wonderful news that some delightful little TWAT had spoiled the book for her (and the rest of the class)! This after several members of the class said very loudly that they did not want to hear or be spoiled.

I am ludicrously angry about this. Maybe because the same thing happened to her when OotP came out.

Moral of the story is, I guess, to make sure my daughter gets the next book read in the first couple of days like me.

My younger son hasn't been spoiled yet, so I'm off to read to him (this is the first of the HP books he's actually been keenly reading himself) so he can hopefully get it read before one of the little 'darlings' in his class decide to ruin it for everyone else!

Kids can be so fucking obnoxious :( I don't know where some of them get this idea that it's really funny to make life difficult/uncomfortable for everyone else. I'm so sorry :(

I guess the only solution is like you said, to read it as fast as possible...I stayed up all night and read the thing cover to cover...but I mean, kids can't really do that...and they have to go to school, i guess.

Hang on though...aren't your kids in summer vacation?

No, it's winter here. ;~) They started term 3 a week and a half ago.

Well, I read the book in one night for that reason, but I really hoped my kids would be able to survive a bit longer. And they were so keen to read it themselves... and that's supposed to be what it's all about, isn't it? Getting kids to want to read.

Oo, where are you? I guess you're an Aussie? (Since you're speaking English and it's Winter there?)

Well, hopefully they'll still be psyched to read it...and that's true, it has gotten SO many kids to read...

Yup. Aussie. :~) And there was ICE over everything this morning... brrr!

Fun :) So then, your kids have their bigger break from school in like, November? December?

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the summer/xmas holidays start about the 20th December and they start the next school yr on the 27th Jan. Sadly, February is usually our hottest month, so the poor kids get to go back to school and fry. :~\
