Also, she's appalled at the very thought of Stony. "What about Bucky!?! Or Sam??" was the response when she realized I wasn't kidding, people really ship that.
She is going to lose so much respect for me. But it's not like they're my OTP!
This whole shipping madness comes from her cousin, who does it with the sincerity of a straight-laced early teen, strictly m/f.
Oh BLESS.
Unlike my child, who didn't, apparently, fall far from the tree.
Well, no. So, which of us is arranging for her first viewing of RHPS, and at what age?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I read "Forever" in fourth grade, and lots of bodice-ripper romance novels in fifth and sixth. The one that probably put the most stuff in my head that I'd rather not be there was Mists of Avalon in seventh grade, though.

I was also one reading terribly inappropriate novels way too young. I don't know that it really harmed me, though. It's not as though I got up to anything in high school or even mostly in college. (Though when I came out, my mother did go "but what about all the trashy romances you used to read?!?") But I have no idea, with the internet and whatnot.
India would be exciting, Brenda, ooh!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I too received a sweet little Avengers Valentine's Day card!
Mille grazie!

I know I read a bunch of inappropriate stuff when I was young - my dad left his SF anthologies and "trashy books" lying around (mom would occasionally forbid me from reading something of hers, which meant I had to read it in secret), and I roamed freely through the library - but I don't remember anything specific. So, no lasting harm, I think.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
My parents gave me Everything You Always Wanted to Know About sex to answer my questions at age 9. I snuck their copies of The Sensuous Man and The Sensuous Woman at age 10. The only damage that resulted from this was my belief that everybody should make an effort to become technically proficient and generous with oral sex.
