What a Good Kid!

At the beginning of school this year my daughter was feeling a little sad because her ex boyfriend had a new girlfriend. She was feeling a bit unattractive. She came to meet me at a steam show where I was popping corn. The minute she got there she had about eight boy scouts gathering around her. It took them six passes by our setup before they gathered the nerve to say "hi". Finally one of them broke the ice and they all started talking. After a while they asked my daughter to hang out with them. She asked me if she could go with them. Immediately my brain started sifting through all the information I had gathered in my thirty-five years on earth. I felt sheer panic but I also remembered what my parents did to me. They forbid me to have a boyfriend or test out my wings so I married my the first guy that came my way at eighteen years old. That was a mistake that I don't want my daughter to make so I had to come up with a different approach. I decided to let her hang out with the boy scouts. I told her to be back to the campsite at eleven pm. After she walked away the hyperventilating started. Then I remembered all the talks she and I had had about relationships. I had told her of all the things guys say to get into a girls pants. She watched and lived through all the agony a bad relationship will inflict on a family. I had to come to the conclusion that I had done my best to prepare my daughter for the real world. Even so I played the nerves mom and I went to check on her. Then much to my dismay I discovered she wasn't at the place I thought she would be. I had not told her a specific place to be, I just assumed she would be at the boy scouts campsite. When she wasn't there I freaked out and started combing the campground. I was sweating bullets for about an hour as I looked for her. Finally about eleven fifteen I decided to check in our tent. There she was in bed all alone. She popped her head up and said "a little late are we mom?" I was so relieved I grabbed her and hugged her. She said to me "I told you I would be home by eleven". I told her I was scared when I couldn't find her she said "you shouldn't worry about me mom. I had those boys following me around like puppies on a leash". They had asked her to go into the woods with them but she said "No, I going to lay right here and look at the stars". All the boys flopped down on the ground to look at the stars with her. How did I get so lucky. I love having teenagers!
