I Retract My Statements

In the recent past, I started a thread on how I can't stand teenagers.
Something has happened to make me ashamed of those statements.
My daughter informed me that her 15-year old daughter stayed on the phone all night with a friend because her friend was afraid to go to sleep.
The friend's dad had to leave around midnight to go out of town to work. The child called my g'daughter and asked her to stay on the phone with her because she was home alone and afraid.
My g'daughter propped herself up in bed with her ipod and a cup of tea and talked to her friend until dawn began to break. Now, that is real friendship.
I just wanted to share this.

What a good friend she is. Personally, I loved being home alone when I was a kid.

Give her extra praise for that act of kindness!

You know I will, Yknot.
Just when you think those blisters will never amount to anything, they turn around and do something like this!

Snowbird, sometimes as parents we just need to vent and that was understood.
