She does have a helmet, and there isn't much traffic, BUT some people do drive too fast--because there's not much traffic.

I saw "A Time To Kill" a long time ago, but I don't remember what it was about....

She's a mature 13, but she's not very big! She weighs about 90 lbs. and is only 5' tall!

This whole conversation is making me feel

I told Jeff I was done talking about it, and he laughed and said he had a meeting anyway. He's the REAL brat in our family.

it's not about her or where you live - it's the day and age we live in. Ask your husband if her freedom is worth risking her never coming home!!!!

2 1/2 miles is far enough that someone could grab her and be gone before you'd even miss her - and if you are in the country, good chance no one would see it.

Not to mention how people DRIVE in the country.

and I'll say again

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

<------also how this is affecting me.

So she LOOKS younger than she even is????

Oh Lord how many ways can I say NO?!

A time to kill - little girl walking home from the store is brutally beaten and raped by a truck full of hooligans. Her dad kills the offenders as they walk through the courthouse

*did we mention she was walking on a country road????*

This is proof positive that BOYS ARE STUPID

MissBrattified · #17 01-16-2009, 10:30 AM

Yeah, I don't think I can do it. (let her ride....)

I would actually be more comfortable if she were driving and safe inside a locked vehicle. So maybe in a couple of years...

It's not helping Jeff's case that last year two Oklahoma girls were shot and killed--in a rural area, for no apparent reason. Ages 13 and 11.

I would just take her cause this is a jacked up world we live in and you cannot trust anyone anymore like you could back in the day.

Miss B
I'm with you. Maybe later [when's she's 18

] but not yet. It is, indeed, a different day than when you and my children were growing up. The tragedy of the young girls in Oklahoma happened in very similar surroundings. Tell your husband I still think you're plenty smart!
