Tea Time

 Last year, my friend posted about a special Mother and Daughter Tea Party that discusses puberty and the female body.  It sounded like an experience that would be great for Ellison and I. 

In the weeks leading up the tea, I debated how much I should tell her.  I didn't want her to go in with anxiety, refuse to go, tell me I was nuts, etc.  Instead, I just told her we were heading to a special tea and left it at that. 

Well, we sat down and they handed us a worksheet to fill out.  The topic... "What do you know about Puberty?".  The look on her face was priceless.  The experience was wonderful.  She felt empowered.
