Dear Auntie Kate:

Dear 21,

Your Aunt Kate does her best to be supportive with all her correspondents, but dear you make that very difficult for me.

What you are experiencing is the emotional difference between 14 and 21. No fourteen year old child (even if she LOOKS 16) is mature enough to become a mother.  Fortunately, eighteen is old enough to become responsible in most states.

I advise you dear to run screaming to the marine corps and pray they ship you off to Kosovo immediately. Yes, that would be a perfect solution.

No, on second thought you should tell your cousin she is a sweet young thing. But keep your pants on, no matter how much you love her. Be gentle enough in saying "no" that she does know you care and love her. Let her become your buddy - even at a distance if necessary.  Remember that time is on your side. She will be old enough in just a few years. Time with the one you love is lovely. Don't spoil it by being charged with statutory rape. You say you want to spend your lives together. Well, be a man and prove it. Have some patience.

If you do continue a sexual relationship with this child, you will get found out. If you sleep with this child she will become pregnant. Her parents will find out. You will be charged with sex crimes. Your loving relationship will be over. You will have a very unpleasant time in prison.

Take my advice dear, it's time for you both to start acting your ages. Buy her a Barbie doll and some Judy Blume books.  Learn to take cold showers.
 

Your

Aunt Kate
