Just like my 11-years old daughter's question during our dinner last night.
"Mom...when do you think I am allowed for a d.a.t.e ?"
I had to stop chew my food before digest her question. For a second, I was speechless because I really don't know the answer. Before I swallowed what I had in my mouth and took a breath, she gave me another "knocked out" statement.
"It is not a date as an adult's, you know....it's more like a puppy love date."
(Wait a minute "parents", how many type of dates do we actually have nowadays ?)
After I have myself back, not giving answer she waited for, I asked her back.
"Before we go further, what do you have in mind about a date itself..."
"Well, it's like go out, watch a movie..."
"Don't you already do that with your friends ?"
"Yeah....but it's different"
"How different ?"
"It's only with a friend not friends"
"Are you sure you just wanna do that with a single person ? I was asking her with a light smile in my face, as I started to tease her.
"Well....maybe not now but later. Just answer my question, please..."
Instead of answering hers, I told story on how strict her grandfather was to me.
"You would not do that to me, would you ?" she asked after listening.
"Maybe, I don't know. It really depends on you, how you and your friend behave".
"So, when then I could go on a date ? You haven't answered yet, Mom"
Oh My God, how persistent she was.
"At how old do you think it's appropriate for you to go on a date ?" There you go, finally came out from me.
"mmmhhh....17th"
"Why 17th ?"
"Because I'll get my ID Card by then" . Hmm...good point !
Do you know what my anwer was ?
"Let's see when you 16th"
"That's gonna be 5 years to go, nop ... wait....4 years to go because I'll be 12 this year".
I knew this gonna be one of our "never ending discussion" until exit permit released.
Do you have same experience like this ? Feel free to share. I need it, at least I have another 4 years to think about !
