As I dropped my teenaged daughter off at school this morning, she leaned into the back seat, gathered up her lacrosse equipment and trotted toward the school building balancing her backpack, bright pink lacrosse stick and duffle bag. I sat and watched her for a few moments,
marveling at her flowing strawberry hair, her little frame, her grace, her sprite-likeness.
She just clears four and a half feet, barely weighs sixty pounds. She is trim and lithe, toned and tiny. She has a peaches and cream complexion with thick, long eyelashes and small,

a glimmer of hope, an opportunity to socialize and exercise safely.

You see, he thinks it's dangerous for my daughter to be on the same sports team as her girlfriends. He thinks she is taking the spot of another, more deserving girl - as if my daughter deserves less than.
