A Certain Slant of Light

I agree, and yet strangely, the most serious talk about sexual danger that I ever had with any of my kids was the one I gave my 18-year-old son when he was dating a 16-year-old girl. They were both in high school, but the way their ages fell, he was technically no longer a minor, but she was, which meant if they got intimate, it would be possible for someone to antagonistically characterize it as statutory rape. I don't know if he thought I was crazy when I brought it up... in any case, they were together long enough for her to become a legally consenting adult, and although they went their separate ways, they've stayed friendly ever since. (Hmmm, this comment has wandered off down memory lane. I agree with what you said, in any case!)
