Shes All Grown Up Now

Shes all grown up now. She doesn't need us to brush her teeth or comb her hair. She says bye mom and dad when she leaves the house but she doesnt ask for a kiss on her way out. Shes got a group of friends who wether we like them or not its her choice not ours cause shes all grown up now 
  Back in the day she and I had bubble fights in the tub. Id fix her hot soup when she was sick. Id play jenga and always let her win. Now she knows the trick and says mom this time ill beat you fair and square. She never does and so we laugh just because. Days like this are few and she has a boyfriend now and one day shell be married. just as well shell always be my little girl even though shes all grown up now
