Teenage Kicks

Jeff Zycinski | 07:51 UK time, Wednesday, 21 May 2008

I woke up this morning and officially became the father of a teenage daughter. Suddenly and with only thirteen years warning. I mean, how the heck did this happen? It seems like only ten minutes ago I was teaching her how to ride a bike. Five minutes ago I was spooning baby rice into her mouth. Two minutes ago I was a teenager myself.

If the horror stories of other parents are to be believed, I'm in for it now. Sulks, rebellion, bad boys in fast cars...that's all I have to look forward to. After that it will be student debt, rehab, wedding expenses...why, any time now she'll start objecting to me writing about her in this blog. I can see litigation, court cases, public scandals.

I wonder if I can keep her on the straight and narrow with the promise of a new bike?
