Thick Accents, Thicker Heads
(A teenage girl enters the library.)
Me: “Hi, do you need help?”
Customer: “Oh, yeah, I’m looking for a book.”
Me: “Okay, are you a member of this library or any other Wellington library?”
Customer: “Oh, no, I’m here with my Mother for the US summer cause I live with Dad in Florida.”
Me: “Okay, we can sign you up to the library for free and issue you a card, the card will cost two dollars.”
Customer: “Okay.”
Me: “So, what book were you looking for?”
Customer: “Twilight. Have you heard of it? Most people in America have read it, but I’m not sure if it’s here.”
Me: “Oh, yeah, it was quite big for a while. My sister loved it.”
Customer: “Yeah, it’s my second favorite book ever, after Eclipse.”
Me: “Oh, did you leave your copy in America?”
Customer: “No, I just wanted a copy from here because everyone here has really funny accents and I wanted to know how that would change the story.”

Uhh....Yeah! And maybe it won´t be set in Washington anymore, but maybe in...like...Yeah! New Zealand! And maybe, like, down there Bella won´t be so annoying, and maybe both Edward and Jacob will realize that she is really, like,... lame, and that they can do better!
I want to read the NZ version too.
hmmm Doesn't surprise me that Twilight is among her favorite books. I'm just sayin....
