Sometimes the wisdom of this kid amazes me.
Tonight is Wasilla High School’s prom. My daughter Gracie went without a date. It is not that she isn’t gorgeous and fun… you can see that she is stunning and I promise you that she is a hoot! She was asked, but she said no. Instead she took her current 500 plus page book with a bowtie as her date to remind her that she has some pretty high standards and will not settle for less than the amazing characters she reads about. She feels (and I agree) that high school has some truly slim pickings and she is waiting until she finds what she wants. Now I am sure that a portion of her decision is that she does love to read, so it might have been an excuse to have a book along so she could slink with it to a corner and spend some uninterrupted one on one time. But I get where her heart is at. And… I am a proud mama. She is a beautiful soul, and someday she’ll find that fella that does her justice. In the meantime, those fictitious characters are setting that bar high..jpg)
