girls' night

Brad had a user-group meeting tonight, so teen and I were on our own for dinner. After MUCH debate, I remembered the Chatterbox Pub, and seeing how teen was in the mood for chicken tenders (CHICKEN TENDERS. STILL. AT SIXTEEN. I have failed as a parent...), it seemed like the perfect spot. And it was fun. We actually pulled out a card game to play, which I'm sure surprised the hell out of her, since I seldom want to play games. They weren't at all busy, so we weren't there for long, but we had a nice time. And now she's found another place where she and her friends should be able to hang out.
