Well I spent another day at the mall with my teenage daughter and her friends. The pack seems to be more tolerant of my presence now. I can study their flocking behavior without them reacting to my presence. On more than one occasion, I was in the immediate vicinity of them when they were seeking prey and going for the kill without them being spooked.
Teens in the wild are quite impressive in their stalking abiities. They can sneak up on shoes, skirts, shirts, candy, and the more unusual items in a mall with the ease of a lioness prowling the open grasslands. I have seen them dodge competing flocks, redirect their stalking to a new target, and in general, show their impressive abilities as modern hunters.
But the most important thing was I got to spend the day with my daughter. All kidding aside, I love my daughter and I am very happy to take her to the mall and spend time with her.
And in the teen language - peace out! The adult translation is "May God be with you".

It is wonderful that you are able to spend time with your daughter in her natural habitat and get to understand her for who she is! I am certain that she will appreciate it for years to come and will grow up stronger thanks to a father who cared.
