When she was in middle school a girlfriend invited her to a weekend sleepover; as I knew the girl's parents, I had no problem with it but as the time grew closer Jenn was more and more antsy. <br />When I sat her down and asked her what was wrong she told me the girl's older stepbrother was supposed to spend the weekend as well and that he'd been trying to talk the kidling into a make-out session. I said "so you're telling me you want me to forbid you to go..." and she burst into tears and hugged me so tight I couldn't breathe, then made the call as soon as she stopped crying. <br /><br />No matter what they say or even think, they want us to have their backs... and you did. Nope, you're not too old.The Crankyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11482237436135513483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-62309136647291391982016-08-09T12:10:46.049-04:002016-08-09T12:10:46.049-04:00I think it's more that she sees the finish lin...I think it's more that she sees the finish line.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-61892499609538724352016-08-09T11:35:39.883-04:002016-08-09T11:35:39.883-04:00It's a good thing she has you.

I hope what you've taught her will guide her well. I remember my first year of "freedom". My goodness I was out all the time but still managed to pull in very good grades (such is the energy of youth). After that I settled down to a more manageable schedule and responsibilities. I'm sure Emily and Laura after her are looking forward to a greater variety of things to do in a larger town. I know I sure did. I still prefer a larger town/city though I also do love the country.
