Kiss and Tell


My girls are growing up and I can't stop it and it's driving me crazy. Morgan is in 9th grade and is very social. She has a group of friends that she loiters with on a very regular basis. These are her Bizatches. Meaning she has now started getting mail at her friend's house and her friends' moms are named Mom2, mom3, mom4, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

Lately she has been hanging out with the Home Boyz too. I can't help but like them. They talk to us, Paul and me, and don't seem to want to hide in the corner when I come around like they are hiding something. To be truthful and fair they are just nice kids, even if they are sportin' the shag.

Not long ago, Morgan had informed me that she had a crush on one of the boys. That didn't surprise me. He is cute, plays the piano really well and seems to be a gentleman. Come to find out he also likes her. They have reveal their barely-pubescent love for each other. Duh! I knew that was coming.

Being concerned, I have monitored the situation daily, quarterly, hourly and for that matter every stinking moment. I am very good at detecting what Morgan is up to and ask her flat out questions like, Has he kissed you!?

Morgan: Uhhhh....(sheeplishly)

Me: Really...?

Morgan.....yesssss....

Morgan is NOT good at lying. I rely on this most heavily. I hope she never perfects the talent. I don't want to ever give her the chance to practice. I am sure that there will be times where she will disappointment me. But I love her. She is my baby girl, whose hair I used to adorn with pink sponge rollers. The little girl that would sit and watch the Winnie-the-Pooh constantly. She learned how to jump very early in life because she wanted to jump like T-I double g-er.

I want her to know that she can come to me when she needs to. Do I believe that she is to young to be kissing boys....? YEAH, I wish she would have waited. But I can't change that now.

Paul and I have now invited the kids to hang out at our house . Meaning...If you want to hang out with the kissing man you will be under our watchful eyes. Thank you very much!

I'm reading this a second time and still can't believe my little baby niece has kissed a boy! I'm glad she has the very watchful eyes of her parents, aunts and uncles, and grandparents. WE'RE WATCHING MORGAN!!! :)

All I can say is, Paul needs to get into the habit of cleaning guns when her friends are "hanging out"....
