Wow Michael...she is a cute little princess ! YOU ARE IN BIG TROUBLE ???
Good Luck Brother... I am yet to be a daddy... 9 months to go... Not even sure what I will feel once I have a princess of my own...
I went to pick my six year old son up from after school care last week, and he was hugging one of the first grade girls. She came up to me and said "Hi, my name is Hylie and we are in love." Then my son said "YEAH and we are getting MARRIED tomorrow!"
I was speechless, but did want to know who was paying for the nuptials.

Is it legal to lock your daughter into a closet until her 18th birthday and until the Nuns come to take her to the convent, or should I care and do it anyway.
This is my 9 yr old daughter and she was in her room the other day singing the song ( Dont you wish your girlfreind was hot like me, Dont you wish your girlfreind was a freak like me )
I didnt think was going to start for another 6 yrs or so.

First, my condolences. You have an adorable kid there and, therefore, a tremendous challenge as a parent. My 14 year old God daughter is and has been for several years, presenting the same challenge.
1) It's not legal.
2) It SHOULD be done, but...
3) ...don't trust the Nuns...
4) ...and don't let her out until her 40th
5) 9 year olds are very commonly tuning into that type of pop culture.
In all seriousness, at 9, many are even already exploring sexuality, so it's uber-importante to have "the talk(s)" immediately if you haven't already. As someone else posted, the best you can do is educate her with the science and the social aspects of the issues and let her know that she can ALWAYS, as in NO MATTER WHAT, come to you to talk, ask questions, get advice, etc.
Best of luck...we all need it!
Just remember that as hard as it may be, talking to your kids about whats coming up in life and boys girls etc... is really critical.
Keep those lines of communication open, and as distasteful as it may feel, getting your daughters on some form of birth control, and prior to that letting them what options are out there can make the difference between, grandpa and dad...
