That statement is puzzling. Of course a statement similar to that could be very innocent - my dad used to say he was gonna give me "little pills" to keep me his little girl - and I'm always amazed (and a bit saddened at times) to see how fast my little boy is growing. That said - if I was talking to someone - I might say something like - "yeah - my kids are growing up so fast - they don't stay little for long" or alot of variations on that - but why say that my husband didn't like it that my daughter was growing up - it just strikes me as odd.

Because it was in the context of saying that Damon was taking Danielle to a father/daughter dance. Exactly the sort of small talk one engages in with someone they don't know very well----"Oh, my husband is taking our daughter to her first dance. It's a father/daughter dance. He thinks she growing up too fast." Sounds like parental chitchat to me.

It wouldn't be as puzzling if BVD had not made such an issue of how little she talked to him that night.
