surprise, surprise......

ok, so imagine my surprise.....in the midst of the chaos that surrounds the start of the annual pound and pedal...50 + people getting their bikes ready.....people in and out of the house using the bathroom.......leaving off their potluck dish.....filling water bottles.......a woman introduced herself as 'avery's mom'.....and said that she wanted to make sure that we met before she dropped him off.......gentle readers....this is the 13 year old boyfriend-that-my-11-year-old- daughter does not have...standing on my porch......looking just as surprised that our daughter hadn't asked us if he could come......quite awkward...................the mother did end up taking him back home until the biking and running part is over............because the boy was not told to bring a bike, and our daughter was riding part of the way on her bike.....and she knew better than to drop that plan in order to hang around the house with the boyfriend-she-does-not-have until the potluck starts..........................oh my.........i will need valium to get me through her adolescence..............
