As a father of three daughters, all I can say is hope for the best. By the time they reach dating age their characters are already formed. You no longer have the control you once had. It is nerve wracking, but that's the way it is. I used to be able to use the deranged Viet Nam vet act to scare the boys, but the ones in school now are too stupid to know that there was a Viet Nam war, and that they really are in grave danger around me. They didn't even notice my face camo. I would recommend something large, sharp and shiny. A DFLE would work. It's for the children!
