The greatest piece of Mormon-American literature this world has ever seen.
It's not grooming if he looks 17.
A love triangle for the ages;
The men would be better off left in cages.
Fun for the whole fam,
But watching New Moon in theaters with Dad was not my jam.

When We Were Very Young
In another box set that my parents got me when I was younger contained four books by A.A. Milne. 'When We Were Very Young' is a collection of poems that Milne wrote for his son Christopher Robin. This is a book that is full of references to Mr. Edward Bear, but a lot of the poems give some various descriptions of life of a very young child and where, when, how and why they do what they do. The illustrations are quite cute for you can see what Christopher Robin is and may be thinking. Also, Pooh Bear does make his self-known at various points. I have read these verses many, many times over the years and each time make me feel good about myself.

Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle-Earth
Here is another book written and created by J.R.R. Tolkien and edited by his son Christopher Tolkien. This is a collection of chapters mainly from 'The Silmarillion' with various other notes for the stories that his son added and finished the book. This was a book that read along with reading 'The Silmarillion'. 'Unfinished Tales' was an interesting read in its' own right though.

Lol. That was great, and I didn't even see that series.
I'm so impressed that you not only gave a nuanced take, but that you made it fun, rhyme, and educational (I hadn't known about the Mormon component, eesh). But also want to applaud your dad for joining you and presumably sitting through a shit ton of teen heartbreak and Jacob's abs! You rocked this one.
I haven't seen or read, but this is great anyway. :) My mom tried to convert us to Mormonism in my childhood but that did not last.
Bahaha. I can’t remember the Mormon reference (was the author one..) but something about it rings a bell. I only survived the first two films at the cinema back in the day ! 😉
lol, this is amazing. I made my entire family (mom, dad and 2 older brothers) see the first 3 movies in theaters with me 😬
This is brilliant! I’ve not read the books or seen the films (there are multiple, right?). But it was such a pop culture phenomenon that knowing pieces of the plot was unavoidable for me. You gave us a witty 50-word critique in poetic form. Amazing!
Hahahahahahhaha omgggg! This was hilarious! You nailed this!
Lol, this critique 💀… I can’t get over the “it’s not grooming if he looks 17.” What en epic line!
Going to the movies with parents is not always the best, lol. Great review, Ashley.
