On babies

My mom asked me the other day if I was "corrupting" a nineteen-year-old. I didn't know how to respond. Four years ago she was toying with the term to keep me from sleeping over at Randy's. Two years ago she was threatening with it to keep me from dating Revan. And last year she was lamenting it to keep me broken-up with Chris. Is that what it takes? Three relationships to turn me from object to agent in the act of "corruption." Or did something else solidify the end of her last daughter's relative innocence?

Hmm, seems like someone needs to do some introspective detective work. I'd be interested to see your closing thought followed through with.
