Honey, I guess you could tell him that you need his help getting the vacuum cleaner out of the closet (being that you're preggers and all, and all men should consider that being the gentlemanly thing to do) and then you could maul him! I bet you could even defy orders and exceed 7 minutes....
PIB, I was 16 as well, and it was a pretty chaste kiss at that. My next time at bat (I was about 18) was really juicy, but the guy was drunk beyond belief, and after we had a fun makeout session in his VW bug, he opened his door and barfed. Wow, that was not a pretty visual, and thanks to his being a cad, convinced others that I made him sick.
Hey, I know I was late, but you know what they say about Catholic girls....
Getting back to my D10, I know one thing for sure. She is really angry with her dad for his poor choices. She feels a promise to love ALL of us was one he should have honored. Hey, I agree with her.
But some of the waters become a little murky, because some of this stuff has to do with me and my part in the demise. She is really uncomfortable sharing this stuff with me, which is why she asked me to make her a C appointment for after school starts. She's comfy with this lady (who is a child psychologist and warm as well as calm and centered) and has seen her periodically since she was 6 (when we got the Dx on her sister).
Hey I forgot to tell you! Mr. W. is hopping pi$$ed off at Gary! Gary pulled out his golf team for the tournament because he really wants to meet with his fantasy football friends. Needless to say, I was a great friend and validator as he reamed Gary up one side and down the other to me on the phone. D10 was THRILLED to hear about this one!
Let's see, we also discussed condoms and teen pregnancy. I was very direct with her and let her know that there are big consequences for acting out too early with sexual behavior. She then looked at me and said, "What? Who said I want to do anything? I think it's kind of sick, but I just want to know more!"
Ah, we'll be talking more over the next few years, I'm sure. I did tell her what the church teaches about this topic and she was very receptive to the why's behind the sentiment.
I hope we will not be discussing sex toys and prophylactics any time soon... I have enough going on with D7 to keep my mind off that subject for awhile.
Back to the subject of 7 Minutes in Heaven? Mr. W. started to laugh and said, "That's enough time for everything, at least for me!"
Ha ha!
