((((((((((((((sj)))))))))))))))))) thank you.
(((((((((myzen)))))))))) thank you. i told her that if she were me, i'd be more likely to tell daddy (because i couldn't understand why she was freaking about her dad finding out). that's when she said that. she thinks that her dad keeps it in and his disappointment runs deep...which it really doesn't. i think she thinks he should freak more than he does sometimes, and thinks it's inside. not true. he's just not one to freak for one, and for two i can only think of two times he's really been angry with her. she's so worried about disappointing him because he has so much faith in her...the golden child in his eyes. me? i know she's a teen

and call her on about everything she attempts, and talk to her about things constantly. bottom line, she knows that i know she's imperfect. i think she thinks her daddy thinks she is and she doesn't want to let him down.
truth be known...she's not far from perfect for a 17 yr old! hehehe
thanks again everyone.
