Funny Story: My daughter and I were discussing Pride and Prejudice the other day (seriously, you have no idea how long I waited to have that discussion) Of course, being a teenager and a chip off the old block, she said to me “I don’t know why you like Lizzie so much. She’s really displeasing.” I must admit, though she may not like Lizzie and therefore must find someone else to pay for her education, I was pretty thrilled about her using the word displeasing. I think she got something out of the novel…
Love your P and P conversation with your daughter!
When she was a freshman or maybe sophomore in high school, my youngest stood next to me in the mirror and said, “No. I don’t like this shirt. It fits me ill.” That was our similar moment! Sharing a love of reading with my girls and the ability to discuss and disagree what we read is truly one of my most treasured experiences!

She doesn’t like Lizzie?! Ah, well. It might be that she’ll need to read P&P another time or two to really appreciate it. It took me three tries, and I needed to not be reading it for school before I fell in love with it.

She just finds her totally disagreeable, like she goes out of her way to be a pain. I was not amused….

It always stops me in my tracks with delight when ’17’ uses a good vocabulary word- the other day he asked me why I was so recalcitrant – I was so happy I couldn’t answer!

Aww that’s so great that your daughter’s read Pride and Prejudice- even if her view of Lizzie is a tad displeasing 😉
