Or for ANY of us that have daughters........................

Tina Fey’s Prayer for her Daughter | My Spinning Plates
I dont know what it is about having a daughter that makes parents more protective. For us, it started even before our daughter was born. We made sure to give her a name that would keep her from jumping on a stripper pole at the first sign of financial difficulty.
Thats why her name is Gracie and not Satin, Topaz, or, god forbid, Chastity. From what I can understand, Chastity comes from an ancient word meaning, Ill start popping out your grand-babies at 14 if the meth doesnt get me first. My Latin may not be perfect, but Ive known a lot of girls named Chastity.
It doesnt stop with the naming process. It never stops. Theres an ongoing list of dos and donts. Seeing older children at the park or in a store, prompts additions to that list.
I know every time we see a 12-year-old wearing pants with writing on the ass, I will hear my husband start to mutter, No way in hell will my daughter ever
Tina Feys new book, Bossypants, includes a prayer for her daughter that every parent of a daughter should read. It should be stapled to the birth certificate of every girl-child born from now on.
