Yesterday I went to my friends house to help celebrate her son's 21 birthday. She also has a daughter who will be 15 in May. As we were talking my freind asked my daughter who is 17, a senior, if she knew some girl because she is also a senior in my daughters high school. My daughter said yes why? Well apparently her daughter has been hanging around with this girl. My daughter told her not to let her hang out with her because she is not a good influence. My friend says,"well she likes my chicken cutlets" My daughter was like wait she ate over here?? Apparently they are friends. Which I think is strange because why would you let your 9th grader hang out with a 12th grader??? Anyway as we were leaving her daughter says,"oh I might be going to the prom" WHAT??? I said with who??? and she says with this girl??? I don't understand ...Is it me???

I have been friends with her since I was 14 I'm 51 now. She is my first son's godmother. Our kids are kind of like cousins. Her kids call me aunt and mine do the same to her. My older daughter will be 21 on Friday. So her son and my daughter are only 11 days apart. I know she is pretty strict about who her kids hang out with. I am surprised at this whole thing.

My daughter says she dresses scantily and she smokes outside the gates of the school with the "bad kids"
My friend tells my daughter oh well your mother smoked when she was 18 (which I did and she knows that) Your mother lets you get a tattoo but she wont let you smoke??
I couldn't believe my ears. I told my freind she could get as many tattoos as she wants but she cant smoke.

It's bad enough she is allowing her to hang out with this older girl but to go to the prom??? I dont understand??
