Teenage Moment

Tonight at dinner I was a bit taken aback by Stephen's approach to reading "The Kite Runner." (Stephen is a high-school freshman.) Apparently to make the school assignment more fun he would substitute certain words in his head for those in the text. Amir (the main character) became Avatar, Kabul became Pandora, and money became unobtainium. I hope he doesn't mix them up on the test.
