Tw-eye-light


Cruise 2007 283

Tonight, my family ventured into the magical world of vampires and bad acting when we watched the best thing that ever happened to Pam101 - aka the "greatest movie of all time" - aka Twilight. My parents, Dax and my brother's girlfriend and her daughter sat around the T.V. making quips and quotes over the awesomeness that surrounds this teenage phenomenon...highlights can of course be found on Pam101's blog here, because you know Pam101 captures everything Twilight.

My favorite highlight was during a Team Edward vs. Team Jacob debate. I'm going to call it my favorite "Tw-eye-light" moment. And I quote:

Sophie (age 9): "I'm Team Edward but I'm sorta leaning toward Team Jacob."

Dad (new Twifan - aka Pam's new BFF - age 60): "Yeah, I think I'm Team Edward."

Me (potential Cougar): "I love Jacob. Edward is boring and he's not even cute."

Lisa (Sophie's mom and my brother's girlfriend, beloved by us all): "I couldn't be Team Jacob. How could you? He's got those squinty little eyes."

At that point, the whole room got silent as Dax slowly turned to face Lisa, ala the Exorcist, and we all heard a cricket or two. As his own squinty little eyes glared over, she quickly stumbled over her next words, ala Bella (K-Stew) in any movie she ever appeared in. At that point, Dax had to take his shirt off to prove there was more to him as a Jacob look-a-like than the eye could see, ala rain scene in New Moon.
