Quotable Sunday
“The movie is all about how you should be happy with who you are and not change anything about yourself. To be honest with you, I think that’s a really dumb message to be telling kids, especially the ones at my school.”
-Greg Heffley in Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney

He doesn't sound wimpy at all to me. :)

I overheard part of a bookstore author event with Jeff Kinney (right after my storytime), and the part I caught was funny. It was something about publishing his books in German, and having a slight problem with the translation because there was no word for "wimpy" in German (he said).
