Princess vs Tomboy

Her father called me today and asked what happened to his tomboy. I told him she met boys.

My daughter's father recently purchased some atv's thinking it would be good way to spend some quality family time. When she was little he would ride her on his motorcycle right up front. They went camping, fishing and boating together.

Well now she is older and thinking about other things. Just graduated college, working and of course friends. She still does things with Dad just not as much. That time we all dread when life takes over. Last week she helped him lay a concrete slab.

Came home all tussled and said that was hard work. On Saturday they took the atv's out. A few hours later my phone was ringing and it was her Dad. I knew something had to have happened. Many years of Mom experience let me keep my cool.

So I asked is she alright. He was like what. I said obviously she has been hurt as you are calling. He assured me that it was not too bad as she was able to drive and she was on her way. I hung up called and checked on her and said I would see her when she got home.

Guilt sets in and he is calling again. I told him that I had talked to her and would check her out and let him know if I was going to sue him for damages. Thus followed by laughter between us and he wondering about his tomboy.

Needless to say she was bruised and scrapped on her elbow. I told her the next day is when she would feel turning over the atv. She woke up with a bump on her forehead and had pains in her chest and side of her body that hit the ground.

I told her that is it she is not going anymore and she needed to let her Dad. The helmet she had on must of caused the bruising on her forehead. Later in the day we had a good laugh about her reporting her injuries to her Dad. He said let me guess, your Mom said you can't go again. Huh?

Yeah, yeah whatever he said. That is until the next time we go.
