My 'Baby Girl' will be 20 this November but I remember well having to explain how certain things would be done. One year her boyfriend, whom I had not met, came to pick her up for a New Year's Eve party. She was still getting ready, as is the rule, when he got there so I thought that a good time for us to chat. As I asked for their plans and he was telling me what they had on the agenda we got around to what time they would be home. He said, "Not real sure." I leaned forward in the chair and told him, "Let me explain something to you so that I am sure you understand and there won't be any confusion. That is my Baby and if ANYTHING bad happens to her, I just want you to know that at my age, going back to prison really wouldn't be that bad. Do you understand?" All the kid could say was "Yes sir, I understand. I'll have her home by 12:00". I sat back and "Good, y'all have fun".
