K-lo,
Coincidentally, my wife and I just got back from seeing Juno and while
I acknowledged to her that Mark was immature a small part of me could
understand where he was coming from. (It certainly helped that every
character in the movie was a totally fleshed out entity. No
caricatures or false moves in the whole thing.)
That being said, your e-mailer expressed what I have been feeling for
some time now. And expressed it beautifully, I might add. I’m
grateful for the choices that my daughters have, but am apprehensive
when I see how easily my son shuts down to go into his own little world.
