Grandchildren

Grandchildren can be a real blessing. Ours are grown. They are ages 29, 28, 25, 22, 21 and 17. Right now we are concerned about the 17 year old. She is a senior this year and is staying with our daughter and her husband and completing her senior year with them. She is a pretty girl and that could be a problem for her. She's much too immature for her age.

She's getting ready for the senior prom now and is interested in showing way too much skin...as they all seem to be at this time.

She plays her music constantly and wears these little earphones. She will be losing her hearing before she's 30. She is damaging the nerves in her ears but at this age you can't tell them anything because they already know it all.

But, you know, I remember being the same way when I was 17. Maybe things aren't as different as I thought.
