My 14 year old daughter was asked out by a boy.
This is a first for me. Yes, it’s a big deal. I’ve had five kids. Now I have four kids and a teenager…who gets asked out by boys!!! Well “boy” in the singular but “Boys!!!!” sounds more dramatic so…
Don’t worry. My daughter said no. Wait. She didn’t actually say “no.” She said “My Dad would kill me and probably you too.” And I’m ok with that. I’m ok with being the bad guy. She didn’t tell the guy that she didn’t want anything to do with him, she just said that my father is a lunatic and its probably best if we don’t do anything to provoke him. And once again, I’m ok with that. It’s a way of letting them down easy with an implied threat of dismemberment.
