Buffy Lives

Me: Owen in the Jolly Jumper reminds me of a television episode where people are cursed to dance and they can’t stop and then they combust.

Teenaged babysitter: You mean on Buffy?

Me, blinking: Yes.

Teenaged babysitter: I’ve seen the whole series, like, twice. My mom and I just finished watching the second season of Angel. We’ve been borrowing the DVDs from the library.

Me, under my breath: You are the coolest fourteen-year-old on the planet.

I sent her home with the third season of Angel from our box set.
