Dearest Diary,

Well, guess what? Someone snapped up Robin for the babysitting job before I could even hire him… but not to worry, he’s over at our house anyway - he and Raspberry are going out together on their first date.

"Mum, don’t embarrass me," she said. "Same goes to you, Dad. Don’t bore him with your lectures about going green or recycling… please."

"We just want to meet him," I told her.

"You already have!"

"As a potential babysitter, not a boyfriend!"

"Don’t use the ‘b’ word, Mum!" Raspberry exclaimed. "It’s just a date! One date!"

But I knew she wanted it to be more! She hasn’t stopped talking about him since he was here last weekend. Oh, to be young again…

Being THAT parent,
