Something is missing in me right now. I don't know what it is, but... here is an example of how I know it is gone:

Daughter A asked me for spending money so she can go out with her out-of-state boyfriend (the best kind) during his visit. And I told her yes, provided that she promises not to consider having sex with him no matter what he says or does (she is only fifteen). She seemed a little shocked and assured me that he is not the kind of boy who would try to have sex with her. I said that is good because such a thing could only lead to disease, her future poverty and/ or me having to chop off his little wienie. She laughed off the whole thing (me) after the proper assurances and explanations, but I could not stop myself as she left my room... "Disease, poverty and your mother in jail. I mean it!"

It's official. I suck.
