I always thought that the Peanuts cartoons were silly when they would have a grown up speak and all you would hear was ‘wah wah wah wah’. Now that I have three teenagers, and I realize Charles Schulz was either a genius, a father of teenagers or both.
Here are some examples of what I say and what my teenagers hear: That is of course if they even actually hear me at all.
I say They hear
Please vacuum the living room Go eat a bowl of Coco puffs
Go clean your room Go play a video game
Don’t eat all the cookies Eat all the ice cream and the cookies
You might want to shower I think you are awful
That is a cute shirt That shirt should never be worn again
Recently a friend of mine shared an awesome invention that every home with teenagers needs. http://fridgelocker.com/ 
Seriously! Those of you with teenage girls may need several to keep your clothes, makeup jewelry, shoes, and purses in. Those of you with teenage boys may wish to store your food, your power tools, and your car keys.
Teenagers are tricky.
