I was just ranting the other day because one of Autumn’s friends is also reading the book, and she flipped ahead and then despite Autumn telling her not to, she revealed a pretty big plot point. Which just totally ticked me off, because Autumn is still reading it.

Is it no surprise that this is the same girl who told my child that there is no Santa Claus?

But it’s good to know you’re reading it. Now I can torture you like I do Autumn.

Imagine a really irritating voice, and it’s saying, “I know who the half-blood prince is and you don’t. Nanananannah nah.” And you’re not going to guess either. Ha! You just have to read it.

When I bought the book, the cashier kept talking about it, and she told me not to read the last page. So it was the first thing my husband read. He didn’t get anything out of it. Silly boy. You won’t unless you read the whole thing.

Plot points are there for a reason. You can’t jump ahead on a rollercoaster. Just curl up, shut off the phone and make the kids feed themselves.
