Ways To Have Clean, Safe Fun

No, this is not a sex post, reader! (C'mon, I had to poke a little fun at the majority that would see this title racy or awkward).

Tonight I spent my hours out of the house. My first *real* night out of the house: driving around with friends, having a great time--staying out 'til around 11 o'clock, maybe even midnight.

I was celebrating my friend Doug's birthday with his wife Michele and my partner Mark, who is also a close friend of theirs (he in fact introduced me to them!).

The four of us went out to the pizzeria for dinner, played some games and chit-chatted. Then, it was off to Baskin Robbins for some dessert. Our conversations became a little "too full of sexual innuendos" for the small children who were toddling around picking out their gummy bears and flavors (I'll admit though: I had gummy bears on my ice cream), so we decided to pack up and drive to Borders.

Once Borders closed, we tried Starbucks, but were out of luck. So, we ran to the grocery store, grabbed some energy drinks, and sat around. I feel it is appropriate to mention the "kids" were hyper as heck. We finished off the night out in the parking lot, chilling out by Doug's sweet-lookin' Cadillac, and cracked jokes in the freezing cold.

So, I must say: it is possible to have clean and safe teenage fun with your friends--minus drugs, minus sex, and minus trouble!

Some of my favorites:

1). Coffee shops and bookstores.

2). Picnics in the park.

3). Ice skating rink.

4). Shopping (literal, or window).

5). Pizzeria.

6). Cooking up a storm in the kitchen.

7). Movie date.
