Your periodic reminder that teenage girl enthusiasm is awesome, and that people who denigrate things because teenage girls love them are just being jerks. (Why? Sexism, often, or the frustration of people who hate what they can't control.)

As the aunt of a soon to be teenage girl could not agree more. I will take her enthusiasm over my teenage depression and withdrawal any day!

Yes!! My girls are sassy handfuls, but omg, I love it so much. All the awkwardness along with that enthusiasm keeps life hilarious. They are so much cooler than I ever was or will be.
