Things I Am Saying To Myself As I Wait For College Girl To Return From The Tattoo Parlor, The List:

Throwback to August 14, 2013

1. She is almost 20 years old. She should know what she’s doing.

2. She is almost 20 years old. No way in heck does she know what she’s doing.

3. It’s not a very big tattoo. I hope.

4. She has good grades, goes to church, doesn’t do drugs, and so on, so I need to pick my battles, and this won’t be it.

5. I suppose this is better than eloping to Vegas.

6. She is paying for this with her own money.

7. At least it’s not in an awful location on her body. I hope.

8. I know (and love) many people with tattoos.

9. Remember all those times that my mother would get upset with the 19 year old me and say sh*# like, “Someday, you’ll have a daughter, and you’ll see what it feels like when she doesn’t listen to you!” and such? I am not really that upset, really, but let’s not tell Grandmother about this tattoo. Ever.

10. Her wedding gown sleeves will hide it, right?
