When Juno (2007) came out, I had no intention to watch it. However, I had no choice but to see the movie, once my teenager son went to see it with his friends.
How can a mother follow her son's development closely if she doesn't know what he has learned about teen pregnancy from a movie?
If you want to see how some U.S. teenagers are like, this movie actually is quite educational.
p.s. Many 8th graders in the U.S. have to pretend to be a parent for 2-3 days. The school would ask each student to get a 5-lb rice bag, think of a name for the "baby," and draw a face on the bag accordingly. The "parent" cannot leave the "baby" alone for any length of time. So, if the "father" wants to use the restroom, he has to find a babysitter first. A friend's son asked his mother for a bag of brown rice, because he is non-white (actually a Chinese). How did I know that? Because I was the one who ended up cooking the bag of rice
p.p.s. Does this program work? At least for now, I am NOT a grandma yet
