Sarah is in middle school this year. Sixth grade. She informed us at the beginning of the year that there would be dances at school. We decided that she wasn't old enough to go to school dances yet. She's still young. She has her whole life to worry about boy/girl stuff. We don't need to rush it.
So Friday she came home and told me about her day. One of the boys at school asked her to go to the dance with him. An eighth grader. She told him she wasn't allowed to go to the dances. She then said she would have told him no anyway because he was so much older than her.
I guess we have been neglecting part of our parenting. It never even occured to her that going to a dance with a boy is a date and she's definitely not old enough to do that.
But hey, it's nice to know she's not attracted to older men. I sure hope that lasts, at least through high school! LOL

Oh, ouch! I guess that's what you get when you combine pretty and sweet.
poor poor Amy, you got 5 more years of saying "no you can't go out with him yet".
