Little "Miss" take

Hey everybody!! :love: Well...the other day I had an eye-opening conversation with my youngest daughter. I was using her computer to post here on the forum and she came in the room and sat down on the bed and asked if she could speak with me. I said "sure sweetie" and turned to talk. Then her eyes sort of flicker from the computer screem to me and she says, "Mom I don't want you to be mad at me but I wanted to talk about your kids." I'm all like "ooookkaaaayy" inside my own brain wondering what's coming. Again, another bright and happy smile painted on my face and another "Sure, sweetie". So she says, "Mom,don't hate me but I don't want to be you! I don't want to make your mistakes!!" Then she crosses her arms and stares at me. !!!!:eek: Here's me. "Uhmmmmm...." After that I sat there for a second blinking. Meanwhile inside my head? My mother's voice saying in her cynical, sarcastic way, "Oh that's okay dear! Don't worry! You'll make plenty of your own mistakes!!" Oooo boy! All I ended up saying was that I understand and that I wouldn't want her to make my mistakes either and that that's why I'm so adamant that she talk to me about boys and relationships and the choices and situations that all of that can lead to. Her response? "Ewww! That's gross mom! I don't want to talk about this anymore!" :banana: :arrow: Sigh...maaaayyyybeee I should've gone with the "you'll make your own mistakes" line. LOL!
