Thursday morning was another day where we sat waiting for the bus. At the beginning of the year she and I would play hangman and talk a little. As the year goes on she has begun to pull away. She got a medium journal for Christmas and has begun her own comic book. She no longer wants to play hangman with me and works on her comic.
While it makes me a little sad, I know that I have been very lucky that she has wanted to continue to do things with me for as long as she has. I know that the teenage years are not usually known for wanting to be around parents or to be seen in their company. (If I remember correctly it the time when you want them to raise your allowance, give you a car, and then get out of your way!)
I guess I'll continue to ask her if she wants to play for the rest of the school year and maybe one or two days she'll say yes. I have a hangman scratch off book that I don't think we'll ever use, I guess I have the beginnings of our next yard sale.
