Hey Lisa,

I think it's so kewl how someone u babysat for now smokes? Did her parents smoke? Her friends? Do u think we were an influence?

I will have to try Misty's. I actually want a cigarette right now just writing this post. I am not craving one just really enjoy smoking and want 2 do it as much as I can.

The 13 year old girl I watch would be the most shocked if I was 2 ever smoke in front of her. She would not believe her eyes...lol. The rest of the kids I babysit are 11 or younger. Most would comment, I'm sure but they more or less already see me as an adult so it wouldn't be 2 bad.

Unless of course I didn't have permission. After all, Brad tried to get me in trouble for wearing my socks outside. I know he's not allow out without shoes and I assumed his mother would give me a look, 2. Instead she was so kewl which really did make me feel more like an adult. If only I'd be lucky enough with smoking:-).

What happened when the 12 year old stole ur friends cigs? Did he try to light them or just hide them? I think that would call to a definate "time out"...lol.

Hugs,
Kate
