We thought about it when she was one, but it was just going down hill and we knew when to say when.<BR/><BR/>Sadly, I think the reason I find it funny is that she is Very like me in many regards. I always tell him that I NEVER worry about her being a victim of some boyfriend. In fact, I considered taking any potential life partners aside and very seriously counseling them about what they were planning to do. <BR/><BR/>As Terrance's mother took me aside and said "Are you sure you want to swim in this gene pool?". Both genetic sides are rather badass, I fear.<BR/><BR/>Today she said to me "Well, I won't do THAT again..."Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12920042208198309201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15513876.post-1148951496069171152006-05-29T20:11:00.000-05:002006-05-29T20:11:00.000-05:00Holy crap!
