Saturday. I get to be a "mom" to a 17 year old

This is Grace pretending to be shy.
For a while I worked with kids who don't "fit" into regular school. I met a lot of really cool kids, and for that it was an amazing experience. Grace and I have kept in touch, and I really appreciate our relationship, even if she causes me endless grief. I think I say "really Grace?!" ten times during our get togethers, but she's 17 and I'm not, and sometimes you need someone to say "do you think it's a good idea to be going on dates with other boys when you have a boyfriend?" and to ask "is he nice to you? no, well, give him the boot."
It's also funny to catch up on all the gossip, and to hear I'm missed.
