Growing Up Is Hard To Do

My older daughter is sick.  So last night it was just the 13 year old and I driving home from youth group and worship band practice.  I'm SO not ready for these conversations with this child.


"There was a boy who is 13 and in 7th grade who talked to me a lot tonight."


"He asked me a lot of questions like 'why do you wear hearing aids'."


"He asked if I want to go out with him.  What is 'go out with him'?"


"I told him NO."


"But he was kind of cute."


"He wanted my cell phone number."


"How come I can't get a cell phone until I'm 16?"


"How old will I have to be to be able to drive:"


And in the midst of this I said to her "Hmmm.  What was his name?"


Her reply, " I don't know who he is."


KIDS!
