Since Looking for Alaska has become the second-most banned book in America, let's talk about THAT scene. youtu.be/nuyaO-rFGjk

Reading the original Curios George books with my daughter thinking, "Boy, the Man with the Yellow Hat sure smokes a lot."

Purposefully taking up a new social media kind of feels like purposefully taking up smoking. Though at least with smoking you look cool.
