Sometimes We Can Be Embarrassing

Bella went to hang out with some of her friends  The cool thing to do for teens in our area is to hang out "downtown."  Fun shops, including a Starbucks (a hang out the kids like), and a nice little Riverwalk.  They meet up and will hang out for several hours on the weekend.  The parents are pretty cooperative and we usually carpool, with one driving them there, the other picking up.

This particular weekend, the friends' parent drove them there.  I let Bella know to text me when they are ready to be picked up.  I already had it in my mind that RT would be on pick up duty.

The time arrived and I received a text from Bella.  She tells me the time and place to be picked up.  And then she tells me that I am not to send RT.

Bella and RT get along really well.  They goof off together.  She doesn't get embarrassed by us.  I think I've mentioned that my kids think we are fun (probably more funny than fun).  I'm sure that sometimes we can be embarrassing.  I was curious as to why he wasn't allowed to pick up.  So, of course, I had to ask.

The answer?  We were also driving a boy home.  A boy that Bella really likes.  In other words, RT will (probably) embarrass her.   I don't know....ask him too many questions?  Maybe talk about how he likes Katy Perry songs?  Play one of his dance playlists?  Once I told this to RT, he really wanted to pick them up, but, I promised Bella that I would go.  So, I had to get dressed up  get a make over  get myself together,  hop in the car and head on over to Starbucks.

I did my best and tried not to embarrass Bella during the car ride.  I almost belted out lyrics to the songs on the radio, but, I held it all back.  I'm saving that for the next time.

*I'm thinking that this should be sponsored by Starbucks since I mentioned them several times during this post.
