Kids and parents face off...

...over what else? The Hunger Games:

“All the people who don’t get to see it, their parents aren’t cool,’’ said Becca Lev, a seemingly reasonable and cheerful Newton 10-year-old, who nonetheless threatened her mother with a three-day tantrum if she is not allowed to see the film. Mom was unmoved. “I never said I was cool,’’ responded Julie Goodman.

I love the "you aren't cool" move. Especially because I'm currently reading a book in which the protagonist is dying (not literally) to be cool, and I just want to shake her because most of the "cool" girls in the book are awful, and she knows it but she wants to be friends with them anyway, and I know that she has to figure it all out on her own (because that's how it works), but OH MY GOD, it's making me want to just crawl under the bed and hide.

Well.

That might have been a little digress-y.

So, yeah. How about them Hunger Games? When are y'all getting in line tomorrow night?
