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.)

Time to decide on your ‘rules’ Tanis. We had to do that last year when the 15 year old went boy crazy. Knocked it all on the head to be made to discuss ‘the rules’ lol
We have a 13 year old too and my husband when confronted with the reality of two teenage daughters (boobs, bras, periods and pms) generally sticks his fingers in his ears and starts singing. loudly… lol

eh, it could be a lot worse, I think you’re pretty lucky – I had sex when I was 14 and I turned out fine! oh wait.

I completely understand your predicament…I looked at my 12 YEAR OLD the other day in her pj cami and realized that she had CLEVAGE! OMG!

Ah the “joys” a daughter. Wait until her BF comes for a visit and she (at 16 yo) tells you if you come looking for her in the morning she won’t be in her bedroom with her sister.
Miss Grace
And so it begins….
(I totally would never tell my mom, so points to you for the open mother-daughter relationship)

Fellow Canadian redneck here
I’m brand new to your blog and love it. As the owner of a *now* 18 year old son, hang on tight – the ride’s only just begun.
I conquer with your reader’s, though – the fact that she told you is pretty amazing.

The good news is, she told you about it. Of course, that’s the bad news too.

My daughter will be 13 in two weeks. I’m afraid. Very afraid.
Pallavi
All hyperventilation aside, aren’t you a little glad that she had a good first kiss rather than an unwanted bad one? Yay to first kissing and swimming heads.

That’s going to be a major headache. My gosh, she only thirteen, kissing a boy is unimaginable.
MFA Mama
AHAHAHAHAHAAA…*sigh*
Stacy
Hey, I added in a link in my blog to you, hope you don’t mind
Loretta
At least she told you. I would have died before admitting that to my mom when I was 13.
Also, I will be singing “I kissed a girl and I liked it” for the rest of the day. Thanks.

*gasps in horror*
GOOD GOD AT 13!
All I wanted at 13 was a goldfish and I sulked for weeks that I wasn’t allowed one.
In fact, I don’t think I kissed a boy until I was 15 or 16 and that was an awful experience. Like kissing a hoover. Eugh.
Good luck!

Thank you for that foreshadowing. Gah.
It is super cool that she told you. That is open communication.
Now that you’ve posted it however…..
Oh, The Joys
Here comes Mr. Toad’s wild ride…

omigod. at least my daughter waited until she was 15.
the boy who kissed her in kindergarten doesn’t count, does it? DOES IT????????
Kris
My 12 1/2 year old informed me, “I now officially have a boyfriend.” Um, yeah. Good luck with that, sweetie. Think he’ll help me clean the .357?
kristi
OMG, just wait. My 14 year old has bigger boobs than me I think. My hubs hates it.

OMG! Thirteen? Is this what I have to look forward to? Polishing the shotgun is right. Better park it next to the chair, under the light, on your front porch. Best of luck!
