Reply to comment by CheapDeparture8834 in Taking the 11 year old to DC today and tomorrow (Presidents’ Day) for birthday trip - what are must dos for the young one? by jornor

Even IF she's a reader these are terrible suggestions for an 11 year old. Quit pretending Matilda is a real person.

What the hell is wrong with you? I literally have vivid memories of going to huge, beautiful libraries as a kid and they were some of my favorite memories. I loved books. I loved Harry Potter. Little bookworm kids would DIE for giant libraries and if you think otherwise, you’re an idiot.

You overly romanticize books just like men in their 50s and hipster wannabes overly romanticize vinyl records. If you think a child would rather see stacks of books they don't have time to read and can't checkout over the Natural History or Air and Space museams, you're an idiot.
