Hot Topics

A conversation in the car yesterday:

Brother Bear: Mama Bear, is there a law about when you can date?

Mama Bear: {Blink. Blink.} Huh?

Brother Bear: Is there a law that says when you are old enough to date?

Mama Bear: {TELL HIM YES! TELL HIM IT'S 21. OR 31!} Well, no, there isn't honey. It is actually Mama and Papa Bear who will decide this. The age when you can date will be based on whether we think you are mature enough, and that is something we will have to watch and decide when you are a little older {Oh, and picking your boogers and eating them? Not working in your favor regarding maturity...}. But, you know how sometimes you tell me, "So-and-so's Mama Bear let's them do X?" Well, it's going to be that way with dating. Some of your bear cub friends may be able to date before you. But their parent bears are deciding for them, and we will be deciding for you and Sugar Bear {NEVER}. Each family decides the right time based on what is right for their cubs and their family. Make sense?

Brother Bear: Yeah. Sure. I just was watching a show and the Mama Bear said, "You aren't old enough to date" so I figured there was a law or something.

Mama Bear: {Ooof. No more of that show} {I shoulda said there was a law. WHY didn't I say there was a law???} Alrighty then. Consider yourself informed now!

Cyberbears, this cub is SEVEN.

God help me.
