It finally happened. The moment I have been dreading since my legs were in stirrups and the doctor stood before me holding a squirming bundle of new born baby girl joy.
“Mom! I kissed a boy! And I liked it!” She grinned at me excitedly, oblivious to the silent sounds of the shrieking in my head.
She is only thirteen.
My baby.
Excuse me now. I have a shotgun to polish and a husband to calm down.
(He’s still hyperventilating over the fact she is sprouting boobs. This is going to cause his head to pop right off and roll clear down our driveway.)

LOL! I typed the wrong url for my blog when commenting. Do you see what these thoughts have done to me?

It only gets worse. In two or three years, she’ll ask you for birth control, and you’ll have to be all cool and level-headed like you promised, even if you do want to shred the balls of any boy she’s interested in.

This is just a scary indictment of what I have to look forward to.
Why didn’t I have boys?

I wouldn’t even discuss kissing my husband with my mom, so you two have the greatest mother-daughter relationship ever.

Seriously you and your daughter have the excellent bond. I was 14 and thought: what’s all the fuss. But by 16 and different boyfriend? Oh yeah…
Make sure the shotgun gleams. Display it often. Make sure he’s on the couch cleaning it when the boy comes to pick her up when she starts dating.

Hi! Funny website! Must say I’m glad I have rescued kitties as my children! =) My best friend and I are the same age and she has a 13-year-old. Boy, does time fly! Her daughter is taller than June and she told me Saturday, “My God, 4 more years and she’ll be out of school!….MY BABY!”.

Oh crap. My daughter is only 6 months old and reading this still scares me.
Do you like/know the boy?

Add me to the list of people who are amazed that she told you about it. And also the list of people who were having SEX at 13. Kissing was so passe at that point.
I turned out ok (mostly) and can hardly wait until my own daughter is 13. The payback is going to be brutal. I can feel it…
