Venus had a long heart to heart talk with her about what this means. Frances understands herself, and her body. She knows, or at least is beginning to know, what it is to be a young Lady. She knows what is expected of her as she grows older. And most importantly, Frances knows that if she ever has a question or concern, she can come to us to talk about it.
Communication becomes even more important as the teen years progress.
Venus and I plan on doing our best to see that this remains so with Frances as she navigates this new phase in her life. I'll close with this special tip to any teenage boy reading this. Ask that fetching young lady to dance. Even if you look like a headless chicken flopping around, she will appreciate the fact that you worked up the nerve to try. Just stay away from my daughter.
