Clint is hopeless. Tell me it's a bad idea to try and educate him.

mockingbirdie December 7 2011, 06:49:45 UTC

He dropped out of school when he was like nine. It is hopeless.

Do you get what I mean when I say jokes about Dorian Gray never get old?

mockingbirdie December 7 2011, 06:55:24 UTC

LMAO. Yes.

bests December 7 2011, 06:56:15 UTC

Do you think the average high schooler would get it?

mockingbirdie December 7 2011, 07:00:48 UTC

Depends on whether they were sleeping in class or not.

bests December 7 2011, 07:01:32 UTC

I'm probably going to have to find a different joke to fit in this passage I'm editing, then.

mockingbirdie December 7 2011, 07:03:05 UTC

Oh? Now I'm intrigued. Tell me more.

bests December 7 2011, 07:04:12 UTC

There's not much to tell. I'm editing a chapter of my book and need a literature joke that could fit well into teen lit.

mockingbirdie December 7 2011, 07:12:13 UTC

What about a Mark Twain joke? I'm pretty sure his stuff's required reading most places.

bests December 7 2011, 07:15:57 UTC

I don't know any Mark Twain jokes.

I think that makes me the worst person to have ever been an English major.

mockingbirdie December 7 2011, 07:21:09 UTC

And google's not helping either.

Would making fun of 'Twilight' work in this instance? The kids seem to dig that stuff...

bests December 7 2011, 07:48:44 UTC

I would need to know something about Twilight other than it's crap for that to work.

mockingbirdie December 8 2011, 01:24:48 UTC

Well damn.

What do kids read nowadays anyway?

bests December 8 2011, 02:50:56 UTC

I have no idea.

Why do I write YA lit again?

mockingbirdie December 8 2011, 02:58:38 UTC

The love of storytelling? Or maybe the royalty checks?
