She'll act like she's all grown up. But then you'll remind her that you're still paying for her car insurance, gas and cell phone. She'll feel independent. But she'll still ask you to go to the doctor with her. She'll pretend she doesn't need you. But she'll still ask for your advice. She'll drive herself everywhere. But she'll still ask you to go shopping or grab a Starbucks with her. Oh, parents... 18 is just a number. Your baby will need you forever.
