Bark at the Ghouls

I  just realized I have a RL book meeting with my friends tonight and I haven't even started this book.  My girl child told me to go online to some website that has all the books and read the cliff notes (except she called it something else). I can't remember the site because I was so aghast at her next words. I told her that's cheating and I'd rather admit that I forgot than LIE and fake my way through it. She argued that it absolutely is not cheating or lying because their teacher tells them to do it all the time.

Really?!

What world am I living in and how is this child mine?
