Irene, 11, is growing up. We had a perfectly lovely evening with friends. I was about to say that I had so enjoyed my conversations when Irene, who was already in the car, her Ipod (which has the Anne of Green Gables series) in her ears, announced with extreme disgust, “Well, THAT was a WASTE of an evening.” I laughed, wanted to scold her, then remembered making v. similar observations at her age, and laughed again.
Hopefully, she’ll get her teenagerishness out of her system early, and be a wonderful 13 year old. I do believe it!!
