Things, they are a changin...

So the teenage girl feels like she must swim every day. She was told by her friend that it would make her lungs stronger...so being the avid runner she is, she believes the stronger the lungs the better the runner. Each day when I get home from work she is ready to bolt to the pool, usually with a friend. Well,. the last few days they have been busy and couldn't go, I offered the first time and she was like absolutely not. So the next day she wanted to go, no one available, she said I could go with her....wow, mom can go? You really want to be seen with your mother at the pool, with the mom in a bikini at that? I was scared.  Was she secretly plotting something against me, what was wrong with her? Thats right, she is a teenager. I have learned that you let them speak first to test the mood, if they dont speak...walk away....try again another day.
