Date Night!

on: Feb/4/05 and its been viewed 782 times

Last week, my daughter came to me and said, “We need a mom/daughter night - wanna go out on a date?”

How could I refuse?

She got to pick the night and the activity. So we’re going to Applebee’s and then to see some movie with Samuel Jackson . . . I can’t remember the name of the film. Captain . . . something. It’s a basketball movie.

I might like it.

I’m not to fond of Applebee’s either. It’s like Denny’s with better lighting.

But, hey - - a night with my kid . . and it was HER idea? I can live through anything :D

    That is so wonderful. She came to you and asked for a night out! Cool. Just grin and watch for bugs at Applebees and try not to snore at the movies. :grin:

    Is it bad to admit that I’m jealous? (sigh) But then, I’m not your kid. ;)

    Have fun, girl!

    Since my husband is working late tonight, I wanted to take my daughter out to dinner, just the two of us. But she hasn’t seen her best friend in a long time, because the best friend has a boy friend now, and so tonight is the only chance they have to hang out. So, I told my daughter that her and I would go out tomorrow night. How old is your daughter? Mine is 14 going on 21. ;)

    Laura - it is time to treasure, that is for sure. Of course, so were the days when she was younger. I miss those as much as I tresure these.

    “Denny’s with better lighting”. Good one. (In best Homer Simpson voice): It’s funny ’cause it’s true…:cool:

    I dunno about just “Denny’s with better lighting”. Denny’s with better lighting and a bar, however… :mrgreen:
