This could be from any age really. I remember reading lots of books like Harry Potter as a 4th grader to seem smart to the teachers looking at me but I didn’t understand any of it. When the big YA dystopian boom was happening, I read tons of terrible YA dystopias to seem cool but many of them frustrated me.
I was in 4th or 5th grade carrying around a copy of 1984. I had no idea what I was reading but had no problem parroting what my mom told me it was about: “pigs taking over” (double facepalm, one for each of us 🤦🏻♀️)
