Although pre-teenagerhood certainly has its challenges for this parental unit, I have to say that more often than not, this girl amuses me.

Her friend Gracie's dad was a little late picking her up from dance this evening, so we stood outside the studio and waited, and while we did, these two twittered and giggled and tried (in vain) to avoid my camera.

I love just watching my girl interact with her friends. I love seeing her sharp wit and goofy sense of humor shine.

And of course, I love seeing that genuine smile.

There may be a lot of wrong in this world we live in, but there's a lot of right in these girls.
