I know it seems like something very simple, but I'm glad you're testing your boundaries in the real world.  You can do anything you want and if you need us for reminding me I want ideas on how to do what you want by yourself, let us know. We've all been there at some point in our lives.

We lived six blocks from a strip mall with lots of good stores, plus the grocery store mom went to all the time.  I loved going by myself up there, to the record shot, to get my hair done, or to buy snacks, or maybe just to buy a cake mix if I felt like making a cake for no good reason.  I would just tell mom where I was going and that was that.
