This year, my youngest girl 'J', aged 11, has gone from thinking that boys are totally yuckky to just mostly yuckky. We have also gotten a call from the school saying that she is a 'growing girl' and shouldn't wear such thin shirts. Eeeek.
However, boyfriends have their uses other than for target practice. Eventually one will grow up, turn into a son-in-law, and become useful.

:-) Some friends of mine were talking about how somebody's dad made all prospective boyfriends come along on a Wholesome Family Activity [tm] before any dating could take place. If the Mr. PBF wouldn't take the bait, the girl apparently wasn't that interested in Mr. PBF anymore, since he couldn't be bothered even to go on the Wholesome Family Activity. I thought that sounded like a good plan.

One hopes so, at any rate.
