No Mom, You Can't Come!

My oldest went to Science Camp today.

Away from home for 3 days, 2 nights.

I miss her already, it's been 5 hours.

She's in good hands, her teacher, the principal of the school (also a mom of an attendee), and all her friends are going.

To the beach.

To study sea life.

Kayak, hike, build sand castles, not too shabby.

I wanted to go.

Hubby wanted to kayak.

DQ said NO.

We're too embarassing apparently.

I sorta understand, I was 11 once.

I know she's channeling me at that age, I would have been scarred had my parents offered to chaperone as much as I do.

I'm jealous of the other 6 parents who went.

I want to be the cool parent that I think I am.

I wouldn't embarass her.

I would hold back the cutely talk that we still have as mom/daughter.

I wouldn't tease her, hubs and I both promised that.

Still no.

On the flip side, My Boy has secured me a spot on the trip when he goes.

In 3 years.

If he goes.

If the school budgets allow.

Which at this point looks grim.

But, it's the thought that counts.

And, I didn't have to make any promises.

Oh am I going to embarass him!

Just kidding.

Maybe.
