Rock concert

Today Ty is going to his first rock concert. He asked me about a month ago if he would be able to go. Well, other than the ghost riding episode, he is basically a really good kid. Sometimes he makes lapses in judgment, but he could be so much worse. I said yes. I think at first he thought I would absolutely say no, because he made the excuse of how KJ had already gotten to go to a concert. I laughed, because after all, it was only Hilary Duff. I don't consider that a real concert, like the one he is embarking on. I told him that didn't really count. Besides, she went with her cousin and their friends, with their friends' mother and grandmother. Ty's will be a bunch of teenagers, mostly boys at a real rock concert. And, most of us know what goes on at rock concerts. Sex?, drugs, rock and roll!! But, with him I am not really too concerned. And, he assured me that someone else would be driving this time. Which, brings me to another worry.....someone else is driving. Aaahhh!! What if they are not a good driver? What if they get reckless with a car load of other boy teenagers and besides that it is snowing today. So far, at least it is not a heavy snow, just spitting a little. But, the pavement is still wet.

Then he also proceeded to tell me that they may not come home tonight. They may stay with someone in the city in which they are going. Again, I am torn. It would be safer, because it will be late, but where will they be staying? It might be at someone's dorm room. Will there be a party there? Will they get into trouble? Again, at least they will be in one spot and not on the road. So, many things to worry about. So, I will say my prayers again and wish for him to make good choices and stay safe. I hope you all will too.
