My five year-old daughter and her friend playing make-believe in the living room:
DAUGHTER: "Pretend I'm the mom, and you're the kid."
FRIEND: "And you're a teenager."
DAUGHTER: "Teenagers aren't moms!"
FRIEND: "Some of them are."
DAUGHTER: "Yeah, but I don't want to be a teenager mom."
Whew! Now that's a relief!

Smart, smart girl. It's hard enough to be a grown-up mom!
I'm with Jen. It's difficult enough being a grown-up mom!
Now make sure you record that conversation and let her read it when she's giving you grief about dating in the teen years!
