This comment came in response to my post asking parents whether they would ever allow their teens to rent hotel room to hang out in before and after senior ball. The senior ball for Las Lomas High is coming up this weekend, and Principal Pat Lickiss suggested to parents that booking rooms for their kids was not a good idea.
After a parent talked about his or her concerns about having a daughter, another reader, Anon 11:27 p.m., shared his/her thoughts:
I am a parent of two boys. The way I see it I have two penises to worry about. You parents with daughters, I feel for you. You have to worry about [many] penises."
Good luck.

At least $75,000 more for each daughter!!!
Very funny!
I have three daughters - two in high school. One of them is heading to the Campo prom this weekend. No hotel room, and she has to be home by 1 am (prom ends at midnight in SF). It is very challenging to keep young women safe, and, ultimately, it is up to them to make good, smart choices. But I feel that as parents we provide the framework and structure, including: no hotel rooms, reasonable curfews, appropriate clothes and make-up, etc.
Yhoooo for 1:25 pm!
We need more parents like you who makes rules and then enforce them.
Even if you kids don't like the rules now, someday they WILL thank you (especially as they raise their own kids).
Keep up the good work.
Hey Mr. Penis, I told my two sons that if they got a girl pregnant, the girl - not the the boy - gets to decide whether or not to have the baby. "You could be paying child support for the rest of your life!" I told them. "Plus have the emotional burden of being a dad."
Soccer Mom... I can't believe this is the first time you heard this saying. It is an oldie but goodie
Ha!! I'm the guy you're dad warned you about.
