I'm learning what life is like, living with an older child. My Anabel is very nearly 14. I learn as I make my way through parenting a teenager that they sometimes take it upon themselves to take and then put pictures like this of you up on social networking sites:
She doesn't mind that you're eating. She thinks it's hilarious, for all that.
You don't want to make a stink about it though, for at all cost, you know you must model wholeness to her. You mustn't come across as *insecure* of all things. In fact, you think it's fantastic that she's chosen this picture to show her 230 friends on Facebook. Look how whole you are, posting it here on your own blog! That's how little you mind these things. Now where is that picture she snapped of her Daddy peeing which she took using the dually helpful reflections of two separate mirrors? Her thoughts on that? He's the one who left the door open. It's not *my* fault!
