Good grief, I'm getting old. I remember the day of her birth just like it was yesterday.
We had a great time at dinner. My brother was more than happy to allow Addie to take as many peanuts as her little heart desired and throw them on the floor. I didn't even bother to lecture on how that may give her the impression that she could do that with any food, any time. Didn't matter, they were having a grand time!
My niece spent the rest of the night at the mall and then the movies with a friend.
Man...being 15 is tough. I wouldn't want to go back and do it over again for nothing!
