... will be me.
my 14 yr old daughter cobbled together a Valentine's night shindig, which has now swollen to roughly 20 guests.
i know most of them, especially the girls, via past parties and track and drama club and dance and school functions, etc ...
but a few HS freshmen are gonna be in attendance (my daughter and most of the others in 8th grade) ... so these frosh have endured half a year of being peons at the HS, but they'll be kings and queens around a buncha grammar school "kids" ... ya know? maybe they try and be all "worldly" and "sophisticated" and ####.
i trust my daughter and her friends, they're pretty level headed and trouble free ... good crowd ... but i'm not so sure about the ringers popping in. also not sure about my daughter's "boyfriend", or lack thereof, or if a suitor is gonna be attending. i don't pry into that area of her life, Mom handles all that, and i'm on a strict "need to know" basis.
i've assured her that i'll be down in my basement office through pretty much all of the goings on (7p-10p timeframe), but i have three floors above me that are gonna be outta my sight for roughly three hours (LOOK AT ME I LIVE IN A 1920s BUILT BRICK ROW TRIPLEX!!!1!1!)
i laid out some ground rules ...
NO autotune music.
NO treks into the laundry room.
NO pairing off into any of the three bedrooms.
NO going into the yard.
if ANY are breached, i pull the plug toot sweet.
btw, i will be drinking as the night goes on ... hmmmmm.
part of me wants to make a grand statement right from jump, letting these young'ns know pops means business ... but the better part of me says "ehhhhh".
thoughts?
teenage rager on VD night?
yeah, really glad my gf is pulling three dance instructor shifts tonight.
i'm cool.
