Purse sniffing
It is said that teenagers are genetically programmed to find ways to freak out their parents. In fact, it makes you wonder what Madonna’s daughter will have to pull off in a few years. Can you spell Conservative Republican? I knew you could.
We had our daughters (now aged 13 and 15) when we were relatively young so the generational divide isn’t very wide. Nevertheless, they and their circle of girlfriends have this strange habit that is leaving my wife and I baffled. On many occasions, we have seen them going through each other’s purses. I have seen this done in the back seat of my car while doing my cabbie daddy duties and sometimes it goes as far as laying out each other’s purse content on the dining room table.
Of course the goal of such a strange activity seems to be to compare different beauty products. They are still figuring these out after all. I do have to admit that I’m dreading the day one of them pulls out a condom package.

Dude don’t dread it. The sex is inevitable, but if she’s packing rubbers, it’s a good thing.
Personally, I’d be worried if they didn’t have condoms. Better that than being pregnant or having an STD.
I apologize if it sounds like I’m preaching or anything like that.
