I just got off the telephone with my daughter. As some of you may know, she now spends school terms with her father (in Texas, USA) and summers with me (in beautiful Tokyo). I also go to see her for a short visit during the winter holidays, or shortly after.
This evening, she gave me her big news.....she had her first kiss! This boy she has liked for the past 2 months, kissed her after school!
My baby is growing up! I might as well start knitting, grandmother-hood is approaching....
I asked her if it was gross. 'Cause she used to always say kissing looked gross. She said it wasn't too gross.
Then I told her, "Be Careful! You don't want people seeing you kissing boys at school. They will talk."
She sighed. "Mom, I really thought you'd be cooler about this. Maybe more excited or something?"
I said, "Yes, yes. I'm happy for you!"
What can you really say to a daughter after her first kiss?
I'd suggest "what did that taste like?" and "did he stick his tongue in?" -- both things I said to my sister when she had her first kiss. I can't remember what I said when lost her virginity but I bet it was equally awful.
