Mother of two adult children and two teemagers speaking :-)...  Teenagers
are complex creatures aren't they?  They look so grown up, but just don't
have the logic and perspective that we expect in an adult.  I would be
sensitive to your daughter's embarassment and change the license plate; it
will pay off in the long run.  I'm sure you've made far greater sacrifices
for your children.
