When did they decide that they didn’t need you to comb out their tangles?
When did they decide that they didn’t need you cut the crusts off of their bread?
When did they decide that they could walk to the bus stop alone?
When did they decide to go off on their own when you go to the mall, using “I’ll meet up with you later”?
When did they start closing the door to their room once they got home from school?
When did they decide to spend more time talking to everyone else in the whole wide world about everything?
When?
Maybe it’s why?
Who else has a teenage girl? Am I crazy in this?
When?
