OH NO!!!!!

It's happening in my very household. When I went to the grocery store the other day my 13 y/o daughter asked "Dad, can I come along?"

And we TALKED! About stuff that MATTERS!!! And she contributed mightily to the discussion.

Where did I go wrong?

Oh, wow! Where to begin. Now you're in for it. The next thing you know, she'll be asking you for advice about things like dating, sex, and drugs and stuff like that.

Next thing you know, she'll be introducing you to her friends, who will naturally be shocked that an adult would take the time to talk to them at all.

Then, as high school starts, she'll probably start asking about college choices, discussing her classes, and even talking about the news.

Worst of all, what if she takes an interest in things like learning to cook? It's a quagmire, for sure.
