Dad fuck up of the morning...yesterday Laura let me know that our youngest started wearing deodorant to school. Me being clueless, made a comment this morning asking if she was wearing deodorant and then said good when she replied yes...30 minutes of tears ensued as she's conscious of smelling in class. Spent those 30 minutes trying to ensure her that she didn't smell and that it was all a joke about how she's just growing up and dad's are generally clueless.
Just an fyi for the next dad in line...

I walked downstairs to two never before seen 12 year old boys with my daughter. They walked downstairs to her room. I looked at Katie and my 14 year old on the couch and asked who r these dudes? Imogene said deadpan without looking up… Caroline’s a slut now.
Honestly, I can’t be bothered. Back to the crossword.

I’m pretty old school. I have two stepdaughters, 17 and 18, and my bio girls who live in Florida with their mom are 13 and 18, so fortunately they don’t have to listen to my rules.
No boys allowed in bedrooms or upstairs, and no boys in the house when we’re not home. One of our couple friends has kids around the same age and asked, “Why do you do that? You know they’re gonna mess around anyway.”
I said, “Yeah, but I can at least make them work for it like I had to…”

A quick trip down to Florida to see my daughter graduate high school on Monday. One of my stepdaughters graduated also on Monday here in Atlanta. Georgia and Florida never do anything on the same schedule except for this one thing
Oh well… three down, two more to go. One more next year, then a four year break until the final grad.
