Talk about a quick about face…
Last night, my daughter went out with some friends to see the Mylie Cyrus movie. The theater was packed with screaming 12 year old girls.
Cakes could hardly believe it but she actually liked it. She kept saying, “I can’t believe I actually went to see that movie.”
Well, today when we came home from my son’s first freestyle wrestling tournament (he won and beat a state champ in the process), she was on the computer. What was she doing?
Watching a YouTube video of Tyra Banks interviewing the cast of the Mylie Cyrus movie.
To the male lead: “How was it kissing Miley?”
To the male lead: “You have a great smile.”
“Ca-a-a-a-kes! Come on! You’ve got to be kidding me. What are you, a 12 year old?”
She got OFFENDED!
I made her start studying. She has to read On The Incarnation by St. Athanasius. She started by reading the forward. It was written by C.S. Lewis. After just a few minutes, she was remarking on how she loved what she was reading, how it inspired her to want to read all of the old great books.
I couldn’t resist. I reminded her that less than an hour earlier she was offended that I told her she was getting sucked into the Miley Cyrus vortex.
Ah, how quickly and completely a young adult woman can completely change their mind.
