HORSES VS BOYS


My daughter Amy is 13 years old. She's had the 1 boyfriend in grade 5. She was heart broken when the relationship ended. Ever since then she's been very, very busy with horses. She owns 2 and cares for them (hay, water, etc), she takes jumping lessons and loves going to shows.
For the last 3 years, all she cared about was HORSES.

We are not rich people and we try to keep tight reins on this horse business because it can get quite pricey. Amy's horses' dreams are very high standards. She is quite ambitious. But people tell us horses are a good investment: it keeps boys at bay...

Last week, Amy's class went on a 3 day year end trip to Bear Creek Camp. Today, while talking to a friend, I asked Judy: Guess what Amy brought back from camp? Judy instantly said: Oh, no!!! I asked her what she thought it was and Judy, a bit concerned said: She has nits? No, not lice, a boy!!!

All of a sudden, she seems so self assured. There is mystery about her and, my cordless phone's battery has been dead for most of the week end...

Life has begun... I am not too sure which one (boy or horse) is worst. They are most likely both all right. But can we afford both???

Best of luck, Amy, with your life experiences!!!

Boy, that's hard to say, but it had to be done... So there...

I really think there is only one answer to surviving the next 5 years of Amy and Dakotah's lives -- wine!!! (for us, not them!!)

Its so hard to know that this boy-business is a natural, sometimes wonderful, part of growing up...it makes the hair on my head instantly turn gray just thinking about it!
