My daughter's first date

Well, my 16 year old daughter went on her first date today. In fact, it is the first time she has ever liked a boy. Mighty excited and thrilled that she has left her thumb sucking days behind her and truly become a teenager. Or that’s what she thought. Of course, her role model is her 17 ½ year old sister who had a first boyfriend (if one may call it that) at 15. But after she came back, there was a big turn around in her attitude. Somewhere she was feeling the pangs of having left her childhood behind her and having ‘become like any other teenager’. ‘Mom, I am tainted. Help me, there is nothing different about me any more’…… and so on! Of course, it was all in good humour because I caught her ever so often blushing at the thought of the afternoon she had spent with her beau.
