Not being able to think of a good title for what this is I thought I would use what it isn’t.

To continue, Tonight we watched “Cheaper By the Dozen”,, not the horrible modern movie that came out recently but a 1950’s movie that was not only based on the book, nearly everything that happened in it happened in the booK! It was very enjoyable and rather funny.

There was a scene were the oldest daughter was going to her first dance/date and her father was accompanying her. When we were in a slower part afterwards I turned to my father and asked him if he was going to miss the singular honor of going with me to dances. I don’t think he’ll miss not going to much, especially since I probably will never go to a dance until I’m married. Mom says I can start dating when I’m forty-six and anyway, by that time my Dad probably won’t feel like escorting me.

Any way, it’s kind of nice not to have to worry about those things yet, as a character in one of my stories is going to say “I want to be a little girl for as long as possible”.

Besides that, even when and if (MAJOR if) I ever go on a date whoever takes me is going to have some tuff competition, all of the heros of my stories and the main characters of Henty stories. No there are some young men that could win (and did win) the hearts of a young ladies. Strong, Moral, Brave, Handsome, Quick Thinking…. and I could have a list that goes on.

Any way, since I’m not getting a learners permit until I’m twenty-five and the insurance goes down on a car and I don’t really want to have relationships until I’m driving I don’t really have to worry about any of this for about ten years. I pity the poor unfortunate public school girls around my age that already have to worry about these things. Oh, the joys of home schooling and wonderful parents!
