Growing up!

Last night we had dinner with my sister and her family at a Mexican restaurant. It was outdoor seating and a large group of high school students wer?e seated by us. It was obvious that they were going to the prom as they were all dressed up. We left at the same time they did and we watched them board a charter bus. Natalie was pointing out the dresses she liked. Here's the conversation we had after they left.
Natalie: Mommy, will I get to go to a prom some day?
Me: Yes, someday when you're older and you have a nice boy to take you.
Natalie: Not a mean boy, right?
Me: Definitely not. I won't let you go with a mean boy.
Natalie: Why do I have to go with a boy?
Me: Well someday you might want to.
Natalie: (with utter disbelief) Really?

My sweet little punkin!
