Summerfest Dilemma

The Teenager (15)  approached The Spouse about attending a nighttime concert at Summerfest with a friend.  The story was that she and her friend would attend the concert and be driven home by her friend's father, who was planning on going to a different concert that same night.  From this story, you could reasonably assume three things.

A) There was a plan.

B) The friend's parents were okay with the girls going to Summerfest.

C) The friend's father was going to be on the grounds at the same time as the girls.

Perfectly reasonable, right?  It would be unless you know the backstory on The Teenager.

The Teenager tends to do things on the spur of the moment, and most of her "plans" tend to be long on explanations but vague in detail -- this being typical of most teenagers, I'm guessing.

After pressing her for further information, The Spouse and I discovered that

A) There was no real plan.

B) The friend's parents were not all that okay with the girls going to Summerfest.

C) The friend's father did not intend to be at Summerfest until his concert started much later in the evening.

This revelation sent The Spouse into a tizzy --  this being typical of fathers of teenage girls. 

So, after further deliberation, it was decided that The Spouse would accompany the girls to the concert.   As the Spouse put it, "I trust you girls.  It's the drunk hooligans that I don't trust."  (As The Spouse holds a third-degree black belt, don't think that will be a problem.)

So, this is how The Spouse ended up paying for a concert ticket for a band that he has never heard of in order to protect his not-so-little-anymore girl and her friend from Summerfest drunkards.  That my friends is fatherly love.
