She wants to grow up; she's ready for the world. When I was her age, I never thought beyond the pond out back, or the football field. When I woke up in the morning and looked out as far as I could see, that was everything. And that's all that mattered, and that's all that was important. Her world view is a little bigger than mine considering she watches tv and Stina brings her out to Canada to visit, but...
Something inside of me wants to grab her, wrench her back, and keep her on an island like in the "Truman Show."
I've been spoiled, thinking she'd remain the same forever.
Stina said she was the same when she was a little girl. I blame her.
Stina thinks it's great. I can already see her imagining slumber parties, teaching her how to wear makeup, and talking about boyfriends.
Oh. I have just been informed that Emmy has a "little friend." If I was in Sweden right now I could be telling that little punk to back off. Cute and innocent, my ass. Sure, maybe he's just tugging on her hair now and sharing carrot sticks, but I can tell that little degenerate is trying to corrupt my daughter.
Stina seems to think I'm overreacting. I don't think so. She also seems to think that I'll give myself a coronary before Emmy even starts dating. Probable.
But... if she wants five cookies instead of three for dessert, I can think of ways of sneaking her the extra two rather than having her grow up.
