So....
My Daughter came to me and told me there's this boy....
Rational Mom response in BLUE
Mom's inside voice in RED
"Mom, there's this boy....
"Oh....OK go on."
"Oh, hell no....go to your room!"
" ...and he's really nice"
"Oh...OK...I would hope so."
"There are no "Nice boys" at fifteen... they are all hormone seething, boobie obsessed werewolves!"
"Well, I like him...and he likes me too"
"OK, tell me a bit more about him."
"Go to your room and don't come out 'til you're 30!"
"He goes to a church regularly and he's really sweet."
"Well so far so good."
"Oh...PLA-ease!"
"He wants me to be his girlfriend."
"Well, I don't blame him. You are a beautiful, smart young lady."
"Oh no he di-n't!"
"I wanted to ask you first."
"I appreciate that. When you say "Girlfriend" what does that mean to you?"
"I said ROOM....NOW....'til 30!!!! And if I hear the words, kissing, car dates or see any hint of hickeys. I might be going to jail!"
"Well, we'd probably just hold hands."
"Yes, holding hands is OK I guess."
"Right,....ahem..."holding hands"....is that the new lingo for making out? Yep, I'm headed for jail for sure."
"So...Mom....what's your answer?"
"I'll have to think about it and both Dad and I have to talk to you later."
"Before I talk to your Father I'm going to Mexico because doctors here don't have enough legal prescription drugs available that will fix the anxiety I feel right now! Are ya happy now?...Mama is about to become a drugged out zombie! Dr. Phil here I come!"
"How do you think Dad will react?"
"Most likely He will react just like I did ."
"I'll call the paramedics."
Makes me glad we had a boy!!
ReplyDeleteGinny, you are so right when it comes to this. I am having such a hard time with this stage in her life.
DeleteHad the first official girlfriend thing in this house and I am sure all they ever did was hold hands. Really
ReplyDeleteFrom your mouth to God's ears!
DeleteSO glad that worrysome part of my life is over. Turned me into a raving lunatic it did.
ReplyDeleteOh Delores I'm on my way to loonie-ville!
DeleteI had almost the EXACT same conversation with my daughter about four months ago. I'll be praying for us both!
ReplyDeleteI'll be praying for us both too! Thank Ma, so nice to know I'm not alone in this :o)
DeleteLOL!!! Welcome to the world of teenagers. I am sure everything will work out fine.
ReplyDeleteHi Beth...Oh, if I could only go back to when her true love the disney's Buzz Lightyear!
DeleteOh my...what a challenge in these times. I raised 4 sons! I always thought they were probably easier than girls! Sweet hugs!
ReplyDeleteIt is a big challenge...I'm leaning on God....and eating lots o chocolate!
ReplyDeleteGet on your knees and start praying, right now. GPS implants will be available soon, I am sure.
ReplyDeleteI'm googling it right now! LOL!
DeleteOh, Joanne! Bless your heart! Your daughter is extremely blessed to have such a calm mother, even if your insides are boiling over!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mindy, would you mind calling my daughter and letting her know?! LOL!
DeleteI'm laughing about the "Go to your room until you're 30" line. Oh Joanne, I actually think that's amazing that she asked for your permission first. How many kids do that? I've never heard of that. It sounds like you can trust her. I know, that's not the issue. The issue is that a teen boy is a teen boy. All I can say is keep breathing, and keep faith.
