       *Takes a deep breath an lets it out slowlyyy. Looks at you
       puzzled and asks quietly:
       "why? why does it make a difference if its boys or girls? Why do
       i need an adult if its boys? i don't gettt it!"

       I have to smile a tiny bit when Iona says she doesn't get why
       boys are a problem. "Because, sweetheart. You are too young for
       me to feel like it's appropriate to be in unsupervised
       situations with a boy. And the same goes for Willa. This isn't a
       'you' thing, or because I think anything bad about you or your
       ability to make decisions or take care of yourself. But it is my
       way of trying to keep you girls safe. And as you grow up, and
       develop trust with me, and as whatever boy happens to hang
       around you develops trust with me as far as how he will treat
       you, it can change. Until then, I won't allow it. Do you
       understand?"

       *Looks at you frustratedly and pulls my knees up to my chest*
       "No Nanty i don't get it!  You say i'm too young to be alone
       with boys, yet you don't supervise toni or kiki when there with
       boys!"

       Noting the frustration in Iona's tone and posture, I soften a
       bit as I try my best to explain.
       "Baby, I can't imagine a situation where Kiki would be alone
       with a boy as it is because she is so young. And almost the same
       thing with Toni. But also, sweetheart, boys their
       age--especially Kiki's--don't have hormones. And at the same
       time, with boys that age that they would be around I would at
       least know of the parent or guardian. In this situation, I know
       exactly nothing about any of the other kids you were with--boys
       or girls--and that's an issue. I'm just saying boys right now
       because that's who you were with, apart from Jazzy. But rest
       assured, young lady, I wouldn't be pleased to hear about you
       hanging around someone with access to alcohol and cigarettes,
       regardless of which gender they are."

       "Which brings me, young lady, to that point." I pause as I see
       her leaning down and say, "sit back up please."
       Once she obeys I continue, "you told me in the car that one of
       you grabbed the cigarettes, and the other the alcohol. Both of
       those items were stolen, correct?"

       *Sits back up when you say too, sitting even straighter when you
       say about the alcohol and cigarettes being stolen!*
       "NO! i PAID for the alcohol! i am NOT a thief!  And i Don't know
       where Jazzy got the cigarettes!  i did NOT steal ANYTHING!"
       *Just looks at you, totally unable to believe you'd even think
       that for a second, scooting back deeper into the window seat*

       My eyes widen in surprise at Iona's reaction; I don't even have
       time to be relieved that I had guessed wrong.
       "Okay," I answer calmly, "I'm sorry, honey. I just know you've
       got to be 18 to get them from the store." Pauses, Thinks.  "Did
       you not get them from a store, then? Where did you get them?"

       "And you guys got the alcohol the same way?" I ask, verifying.
