We have friends of over 42 years and he's retired from law enforcement. They have a son and a daughter who are now 40 and 37 years old and married with children of their own but I remember when their daughter was about 13 and she asked her parents what age she'd have to be before they'd allow her to go on a date. Her mom said "Go ask your dad" and her dad told her she could start dating at 17 but she wouldn't be allowed to go in a car with a boy and she said "Well, how will we go on a date then?" Her father told her that he'd be driving them in his patrol car.
