Sometimes I act like I am 10

Sometimes I act like I am 10

I acted with complete and total passive-aggressiveness to a 12 year old. And then, laughed about it.

My daughter is 11 and is very trusting. I try telling her everyone but Jesus is evil and to scream "Stop touching me!!!" if any male looks at her for more then 3 seconds...but like most children, she likes to find out the hard way.

My daughter has this "friend", I'll call her "K", I pegged her from day one as a little trouble maker. She has those eyes, the ones that want to sell you a car at a "rock bottom price" of 3x what the car is even worth...

I talked to her mother once and she said "K" is not allowed to be alone anywhere because she might call boys up to meet her and "kiss on them". That statement alone caught me wayyyy off guard. What 11 year old child (at the time) is running around kissing boys, let alone enough that you, as a mother, are genuinely "on the lookout" for it...? And don't even come at me with "she was just worried", she said it in a way that made it to be a fact she didn't want repeated.

As the months went on, I found out more and more about this child that made me want my daughter to be far, far FAR away from her...A child in 6th grade should not be "dating" let alone "dating" a new boy each week.

But, my daughter is trusting. She wants to see the good in people, whereas, I might turn on you for putting too much mayo on my tuna. I tried to warn her about "K".

My daughter has a "mini-blog" where she write silly things and talks with her friends. The "K" girls suggests that my daughter give "K" the password to my daughters account so she can "fix" her layout for her. (I think we all see where this is going...) To make a long story short, "K" deletes most of my daughters content, deletes her friends and changes all the blank space on her page to homosexual references. Yes, homosexual  phrases that made my daughter cry. First thought? Straight to "K's" house and level the door to the ground.

My daughter confronts "K" and "K" replies with "I didn't do anything, maybe no one likes you anymore."

At this point, my anger turns to sympathy and I feel sorry for "K"...but.. seconds later, I get over feeling sorry for "K", report her blog for some inappropriate content and the next day, her profile gets deleted forever. I smile.

Meanwhile, my daughter doesn't and will never know what I did, well never is a strong word, I'll save this story for the appropriate time, like for her wedding toast.

When she told me the news today, I just replied: "Karma".
