Kaitlyn Elizabeth passed her driving test!!! So in a bit we will have TWO teenage daughters on the road...able to drive by themselves....without us....alone.
Well....that isn't quite accurate. We have one teenage daughter and one 18 year old who is constantly reminding us that she is 18 and an adult. Of course, Kirsten has been telling us she was an adult since....well...since she could talk. When she was a toddler though it came out like this, "I'm a dolt." We would all laugh and say, "A dolt? You think your a dolt?" There are some days...now that she THINKS she is an adult....that we say, "Yes....you are a dolt!" By show of hands how many of you out there look back to when you turned 18 and now realize how immature you really were.
Ahh...it's all part of life. Kirsten is not a dolt...and most of the time she is VERY mature....she's just 18.
When Kirsten turned 13 we gave her a sock hop. Then AFTER the party I made everyone that helped us buttons that said, "I survived Kirsten's 13th birthday party!" I think on her 19th birthday I will make everyone close to us buttons that say, "I survived Kirsten's 18th year."
You know Hillary Clinton has only said one thing that I ever agreed with....and IT wasn't even original. She quoted an old African saying that states, "It takes a village to raise a child.".......
Amen sister!! What would we do without all of you? How would we have made it thus far? We wouldn't have.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!! All of this over a drivers license. We still have High School graduations, college, weddings, grandchildren.......and Keaton hasn't even turned 14 yet!!! Of course, since he stands now over six feet tall, and converses on a higher plain than most, I forget that he is only 13.
Anyway.....thanks to all of you who have stood beside us up to this point....and for all of you who will be brave enough to stick it out a while longer.
And if you see our daughters driving around....by themselves....all alone.....say a little prayer...for their parents.
