What does he mean "why"? Why should I have a "why" to watch a film? Well, not any film. He meant "Breaking Dawn", the latest instalment of the teenage romantic saga "Twilight".
Fact is, he knows me quite well. Though he's quite wrong when he thinks I can't see anything different from Shakespeare or Jane Austen adaptations. Moreover, I've actually seen the previous movies in this saga just with him, on TV. He can't have forgotten the experience, I asked him so many questions about who was who the first time!
But he was there, waiting for an answer to his "Why?" Why does his not-any-longer-a-teenager mother show so much interest in those YA romances?
I didn't actually answer him, if not mumbling briefly "I was curious, that's all".
But he's right. There is a "why". There is always a reason when I decide to see or read something meant for teenagers. Especially if that something is particularly successful among them.
