My 14 year old sister just announced on Facebook that she has a boyfriend!

I’m scared, not for myself, but for him. I’m unsure what silly things I could say to him. He’s 16 and my protective nature over one of the most important women in my life could scar the boy. I might even scare him with idle threats, dropping lines about my gun license and how tough I could be if I was a ninja.

I’m also scared for her. I’ve not met many respectable young men. I hope and pray this guy’s a good one.

This is the first time I’ve had to deal with a boyfriend, my little brothers can protect themselves from fools (well they can do a good enough job without my help) but I really feel this deep need to fly to Queensland and stand by my sister as a boyfriend guard.

Crazy much? I can’t imagine how I’ll feel when I have my on daughter!
