The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Teen Talk.

Trivia: The Toros and Clovers cheerleaders’ uniforms show the midriff, which is strictly forbidden on high school competitive teams.

Dialogue On Dialogue: What better way to explore ‘teen talk’ than with cheerleaders. Plus, a great way to introduce the story’s primary characters.
