Tonight, I ended up drifting over to my not-so-local cadet group that I'm loosely attached to. (Don't ask why....)
Anyway, turned out there was a Surprise Child Protection Inspection.
Yay.
Now, it's the last week of rehearsal for a pantomime they're putting on for the parents, friends and others - anyone they can drag there. So it was the dress rehearsal.
The panto is beauty and the beast - and Beauty was there in her dress. Now, I know I'm a sucker for a girl in a dress - always have been, probably always will be.
But my favourite cadet - (yep, I have a favourite - so shoot me. She reminds me in a way of me - that same ability to jump around and have three different conversations at the same time with the same person. ) - turns up looking Good in a dress.
If the child protection people were not there, I'd of told her that she looked good. Because, well, she did. (Yes, she's 10 years younger then me - I'm just saying she looked good. Shhessh, you lot have dirty minds.) And none of the cadets complimented her.
But the rehearsal came to an end, and she walked home in the rain in that dress.
If it wasn't for the child protection people, I'd have arranged matters so that she'd be driven home. Me, mother, another parent - because while the Village is mostly safe you never know who's out there.
And a dress like that pulls the attention of most males over the age of 15.
I'd have escorted her home myself, if needs be. In the rain.
But, no. Child protection.
Grrrr.

Real life senarios that support that they don't work...
Adult drives to duty in uniform, they cannot bring their own Siblings/Off-spring who is a cadet to the duty without a 2nd adult.
Parent/Sibling in uniform cannot walk/drive home with their Siblings/Off-spring after a meeting night without a 2nd adult.
Cadet just turned Adult can nolonger have a relationship with their partner they are engaged too who is still a cadet.
Cadet wants to attend an adult course, their birthday is the day after the course where they become an 'adult'.
The rules around lifts etc still need to be followed even though they are only techically an adult.
All the rules around child protection protect only children and criminalise adults.
Whilst the rules apply to all adults, the only reported examples of breach are male related!
ps. you are only able to have 3 different conversations at once if they all relate to WoW or DnD
and you cant multitask making dinner and chatting online to a girl who could be in a dress.
.. new post?
