We were at the grocery store. The time before we’d been at that store, we’d been approached in the parking lot by a panhandler. She’d expressed her discomfort to me, so it was a natural time to make the point. My daughter is 11, so she’s still listening.

Good luck hearthie. I can’t get my 20 year old step daughter to even begin to glimpse reality. Wife and I pray she will not discover the real world the hard way and get hurt by the lesson.

Today we started the safety instruction in daily life with the daughter… “when you pay at the store, get your keys out of your purse and put them in your hand, so if someone grabs you, you can hit them with sharp pointy keys”. “If someone in a car harasses you, run away from the street, towards people/houses”.

It would be *much* nicer to my daughter and I not to have this conversation. However, girls my daughter’s age have been harassed on the main street near our home on the way home from school. (I mean, “guys in cars have tried to grab…”). Not that my daughter is ever outdoors alone, farther away than my mailbox… but eventually she will be. You can’t keep them wrapped in cotton wool forever.

Nice it was not, it makes me sad. But kind it is – because this is the world we live in, and she needs to know these things.
