Alrighty, I know I haven't blogged in a while and I apologize.  I really just haven't had anything to say that could be posted at this time.  LOL  So here we go...

Sophie is standing on the coffee table the other night fixing to jump onto the couch, as she often does.  I know, somebody should give that girl some home training.  I just don't see why running behind them yelling NO every five minutes if it really isn't going to hurt them is necessary.  How else are they gonna develop their sense of adventure?  Anyway, back to the story...She started kicking stuff off the table.  John told her to stop several times and finally I said "Sophie, do you want a spanking?"  She turns her head to me and says "yes.......but I want Daddy to spank me."  And then she looks at John and tells him to do it.  Ok, she cracks me up!  She is a riot, she really is. 

My point being, she is proof that we teach people how to treat us.  She is TOTALLY different with John than she is with me.  She knows she has him wrapped and she knows that I got her game.  And even though she knows I am the more strict with regards to discipline and respect, I am the one she still wants at night or when she is sick or whatever.  Not to say she doesn't want him, she does.  She is a Daddy's girl and a Mommy's shadow.

A girl knocked at the heavenly gates,

  Her face was tired and old.

She stood before the man of fate

  For admission to the fold.

"What have you done," St. Peter asked,

  "To gain admission here?"

"I've been an insurance girl," she said,

  "For many and many a year."

The Pearly gates swung open wide,

  St. Peter rang the bell.

"Come in and choose your harp, dear girl,

  You've had your share of hell."

Ya know, I remember back to when I was in school and there are two things that strike me as profoundly different.  First, I don't remember kids being so MEAN when I was in school.  Second, I don't remember the girls being such ho's.  I mean we all had sluts in school and people that start rumors.  Hell for that matter it was rumored that I was a slut when I was a virgin.  Of course it was a very short-lived rumor but there is always gonna be somebody starting something. 

Anyway, what is up with the teens today?  The girls are just down right sluts.  They are more agressive than ever.  There isn't much they won't do.  When I was in school the boys were the ones you had to worry about but not now.  I don't know if it is because they think they can fly under the radar or what.  But the girls seem to be the ones initiating sex, initiating experimentation with drugs and alcohol, all of it.  It is craziness!

I have a teenage son and while I worry about him and these girls bringing him down, I feel more sorry for those of you out there that have girls.  I know that all teens are impressionable and I definitely don't want my son getting in with the wrong girl and her "testing his love" to see how far she can get him to go.  But I feel extremely sorry for her friends.  You know she has to be pressuring them.  And if they don't do what she wants you know she can make it miserable.

I don't know, I am not that old and I remember high school and the pressures that come with it.  But I didn't do anything I didn't want to even when my friends were doing those things and I don't EVER remember being pressured to.  Or being made fun of if I didn't.  Why does there seem to be so many more bullies these days and more often than not they seem to be girls?
