When Did You Become An Adult!!!

As I was leaving my daughter's house last

evening at about 8p.m. you were asked to

walk me to my car which was parked on the

street. On the front porch, I said that you

didn't need to walk me all the way out.

You can just watch me from here. "No

grandma, I can't. I'm walking you all the

way out." No, you don't have to, I replied.

"Yes, I do", you said firmly. Your tone of

voice surprized me. How adult. How

determined. It was So. You were walking

me out and that was that. Last I looked

you were a typical, some what argumentitive

thirteen year old. Who was this man who

was seeing me safely to my car? I was used

to kids your age who either laughed at or

were dazed by mannerly expectations.

Wow! I thought. When you start dating,

if you treat young girls this way, their

mom's will be in heaven.
