e
My daughter had a birthday
this weeks -heir sixteenth. That's
quite a milestone in a Woman's
life. Rather 'like the fortieth
milestone, except in reverse.

Life is beckoning, not waving.,
. I'd give my right- arm for
that girl, even though it's ready
to drop• off from ,bursitis, and
I've already offered it to the
highest medical -research bid-
der. And she'd take it; I can
still write cheques with it, and
it still works well enough to
reach for my wallet.' •
Ah, I shouldn't be cynical.
about my baby. She's the only
one I have..Thank God.
She's been causing me pain-
ful :pleasure since the day she
was born. Any normal kid, as
you know,, is born,at 4' a.m. Kim
popped, l;iteralty popped, into.
the worldat noon. And my wife
has never..,forgiven me.
The Old. Girl began to grunt
.and groan about 4 a.M., but
.didn't want to. disturb .the doc-
tor's sleep, and told me it
would be about 24 hours before
anything happened. She knew
all 'about it, having already had
a son, ,who took about 36 hours
getting out of the nest. I knew.
from nothing.
So we drone sedately to the
hospital about 9 a.m., and
booked in. She suggested I go
to work, as there was no point
hanging around hang -doggedly.
I said, fearfully, but with,the
utmost relief, "You're sure You
don't need me?" She r 4tdrt'ed
(bitterly, I learned' ater),
"Don't be silly. It'll be hours."
This was. about 10 a -m,
I phoned the hospital at noon
to *ask If it was ,OK to ,drop in
on my wife andbold her hand.
The nurse chortledp "Congratu•
-
lations! You •have a fine .baby►
,girl." And the kid ` has been
getting me in dutch ever since.
There's nothing basically
wrong with Kim. Except that
she's too much like her Mother,
as far as .I'm concerned. And
too much like her father,' as far
as her mother is concerned. -

Aside from' this, she's a per,
fectlynormal', infuriating teen,
ager.
That ' is, .she inhabits the
bathroom only about five hours
a day. She hates school, Out her
whole social life is centred
there. She loves privacy, with,
some infernal machine Wafting
beat -noise. She thinks here par-
ents are the square root of two,
ttie • only concession she, 'will
make to mathematics..
She, doesn't like liver,.., ays,
ters,` mushroonns, vegetables', .
salad, onions or curry, which'
makes fora bland diet at our
place. She likes steak, imported
cheese and any fruit, that is out
of season, which makes for an
expensive grocery bill,'
Like all teen age girls, she
gets along beautifully .with her.
mother. They agree on every-
thing. Except ' just ab9ut any-
thing you can name. '
Like all teenage -girls; -she r1s;-she is
not . temperamental. You can
rely on her moods. Either fu-
rious or radiant.
She claims her parents won't
even try to •"communicate."
This invariably occurs just at
bed -time. She'd love 'an extra
hour of communication: Pro-
nounced gossip.
Her choice of apparel is put-
ting her mother over the brink.
Rather than wear the nice,
.matching sweater and skirt she
got for Christmas, she'll haul
out an old turtle -neck I got
from the Red. Cross when I was
overseas, navy, blue, match it
with pink mesh stockings and
an ancient mustard suede jacket
-hat even her brother • threw
• out, and ,sally to school.
Nothing) , warnings, threats,
and appeals. to. deity, stop her
from waltzing around the hotise
in her bare feet.
But she still has an .endear-
ing quality from her childhood;
if she reaches for the Salt, -she
spills her milk., if she makes a
batch of cookies, it takes three
.days -to clean Up the kitchen.
What does she -want to be? A
"nurse? Agh! A teacher? I'euch!
I think her secret ambition is
