She has just joined the team, so she can say she had previously made plans to save face.<br /> There's enough time later on for all of that, especially the part of riding around in cars with inexperienced drivers doing the driving.<br /> One caveat...make sure she has good alternative plans, either at your place or the fake relatives or a reliable friend....Lori S-Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935271057806830931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379445.post-26954079603726736532009-10-29T15:16:27.540-04:002009-10-29T15:16:27.540-04:00I like the idea of picking her up at a specific ti...I like the idea of picking her up at a specific time somewhere but that might make it a bit obvious that she's the youngin'and possibly cause unneccesary awkwardness. Maybe suggest it and see what she thinks?<br /><br />Although. . .if she's playing varsity this year, she'll most definitely have plenty of opportunity to TP houses over the next 4 years!! If you're hesitating I'd keep her home!Thisismehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04517981838904502523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379445.post-59811099325794173532009-10-29T12:57:56.209-04:002009-10-29T12:57:56.209-04:00I almost got arrested once TPing on private proper...I almost got arrested once TPing on private property.

However, if she knew where they would end up at the end of the night, then I might reconsider.

She'll have four years ...I'd say hold off. She'll have four years to participate in that stuff soon enough.<br /><br />I was a very active TPer in high school. We lacked other activities in Iowa. Haha. But I'd say it's the same as prom - it's sort of loses its luster by senior year (when it is supposed to be A HUGE EXCITING THING) if you have gone to four proms before that.<br /><br />This isn't a one time shot for her and it'll be far more fun for her when senior year comes around if she hasn't already done it a bunch!<br /><br />Really, I think that's the only reason I would hold off. I TPed a house for the first time when I was eight and every year thereafter. I see nothing wrong with TP!laurwilkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06008662086221324656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379445.post-70930912147794659182009-10-29T08:01:22.598-04:002009-10-29T08:01:22.598-04:00This is tough...I know that I would want to go, an...This is tough...I know that I would want to go, and I would be upset if I couldn't go, but I definitely understand your concerns.
