Cradle Robbers Anonymous...

Dear Aunt Blabby,
Is it ok for a 18 yr old girl to be in love and dating a 16 yr old boy? Do you think the relationship is worth while?

Dear 'Didturbed' (is that a spelling error, the manifestation of a Keyboard Speech Impediment, or simply a bit of playful imagery?)

Very dangerous waters, these, my dear ~ particularly if someone forgets their raincoat. If, in fact, such a chronologically mismatched couple takes 'dabbling' to the next level, the female coupler could very well find herself expecting an entirely unplanned, 7-pound, 6-ounce "couplette". Upon informing the chronologically-challenged male coupler of the impending blessed event, history teaches us the likeliehood is great that he'll make like the all-famous hockey player and get the puck outta Dodge ~ post haste. It is an established fact that males tend to lag an average of four eons (in dog years, if ya catch Aunt Blabby's drift...) behind females in achieving anything remotely resembling maturation and a rudimentary grasp of the art of accepting personal responsibility. Resultantly, a veritable multitude of forlorn females find themselves in a family way ~ and all too often wind up being the soloist warbling The Happy Birthday Song annually to their little bundle of joy for at least 21 ensuing years (or 'Death by Teenager', whichever comes first ), while BioDaddy is off personifying the Peter Pan Big Bang Theory and sewing sufficient oats to feed a Third World country. ( Or create one right here in the good old U.S. of A.). Therefore, precious reader, Aunt Blabby strongly urges the following...

Endeavor at ALL TIMES to think with your cerebellum and not with your G-spot. Unfair and just another of God's little guffaws in life though it may be ~ 99.9999% of life's biggest boo-boos are laid summarily at the feet of women unfortunate enough to find themselves anywhere within a 10-mile radius of the 'scene of the crime'. Likewise, these poor, hapless members of the fairer sex are left entirely to their own devices in enduring and dealing with the associated consequences. Robbing the cradle in such circumstances may or may not even have legal ramifications ~ unless you happen to reside in the state of Kentucky. But regardless of your State's criminal and tort statute status ~ robbing the cradle now could mean rocking a very different sort of cradle somewhere down the long and winding, boulder-strewn road of life.

Yours in utilizing exemplary sound judgment,
Aunt B.
