Team Jacob or Team Edward

So I had it all planned out.....My 12 year old has read all of the Twilight series books (I have NOT!) and has seen the first movie! I heard that New Moon was coming out, so I decided that I would surprise her and take her after school! Apparently I am NOT cool enough to take her....she made plans with about 12-20 friends to meet up at the theater. sigh.......I was a little disappointed, I liked the first movie and was eager to see the next one! So daughter tells me I can come, but I am not sitting near them, at all! Panic sets in....I have ever gone to a movie alone! I ask hubby who has a quick reply of "Hell NO!" I take that as a definite answer. Then I get the text I was waiting for, a fellow Mom of one of the girls that was going asked me to go with her! She is a die hard Twilight fan and has read all the books! Cool...

Arriving at the theater I am swarmed by tween, teens and desperate housewives galore. They are every where...now I am feeling guilty, because I never read the books and I am here for pure romance and "eye candy!" Standing in line by myself, because my seat mate had not arrived yet, and the kids all ditched me, I see a group of women (40ish) all wearing Team Edward shirts, Team Jacob shirts and even Vampire bandanna's. They are all giddy with excitement. I am ready to exit the building....I am not that much of a fan! Phew....here comes Stephanie! I am saved! Getting our seats, I am surrounded by the sounds of giddy girls, women and a few boys! The lights dim and the show starts!

So I must say, for not reading a book and only seeing the first movie, I was excited! Who can resist a good love story and hunky boys! I wish I could say that my eye candy were men, but in reality they are just jail bait! Too young for my love! I would like to think I was a cougar and I could go for it, but most of the cast were born the year I graduated from high school! So I let my imagination go and I enjoyed the movie, and I can not wait for the next installment!

Getting in the car with a few of the girls that were are dropping off, I am asked to close my ears and not listen! Hum....what could they be talking about! The buff body of Jacob? The sexy chest of Edward? As I quietly listen in.....holy crap that is what they are talking about! Are they not to young to be thinking about that? Apparently not! Am I okay with this? Not really.....those character are my fantasy, not theirs! Now I have a hard time thinking of Jacob when I am with hubby! (side note: that is a joke!)

After dropping off the giddy girls, I tell my daughter that OMG (oh my God) in her terms, that I am so Team Jacob! She rolls her eyes and says "Mom, that is exactly why I did not want to sit by you!" "All you crazy Moms!" What I am being shunned by my cute 12 year old who still needs me to help pick out her clothes and brush her hair! Okay, so I get it. I never wanted my Mom to talk about how cute the boy Jake in Sixteen candles was, so neither would my daughter! So for now, I will silently keep my crush with Jacob and not share anymore with my dear daughter. After all, I don't want to ruin the fantasy for her!
