All your pre-teen, teen, tween, (whatever the hell they're called now) posts are terrifying me! My boy is only 8, but 12, 13, and 15 are very close by. I appreciate your honesty in these posts though. It gives me a heads up for the very near future! eek. That's what my comment here can be summed up as: eek.
