How Much Is It Worth

My daughter stormed to her room and

slammed the door. She was in the middle of her

junior year in high school, and was finding

some of the family rules not to her liking. She

had stayed out longer than she was supposed to,

and when we couldn’t reach her on her cell

phone, I went to find her. It was after midnight

and I was tired, and by the time I found her, I

was not in a good mood.

My daughter is a wonderful young lady,

and she really never did anything all that

wrong, but we still expected rules to be

followed. I let her know that I was not happy

with her, and, as teenagers often do, she became

defiant, and I ended up grounding her. This

seemed to be a reoccurring event in our lives.
