I wo n't be holding her hand , I wo n't be sitting with her while they figure out what bus she will ride , I wo n't be standing on the sidelines , crying , saying goodbye to our summer . Instead , I will pack her lunch , give her a smooch , tell her I love her and to have a great day at school then I will watch her walk out the door with her friend and wave as they gossip the whopping block to the shuttle bus . I will most definitely cry after she walks out the door . I already have .
According to the above context, answer the following question.
Why might I not walk her to the bus stop ?


Because she is getting old enough to walk to the bus stop with her friends without my supervision .
