Teenagers

Posted on October 28, 2011 by lymalu73

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/  fridge-locker.jpgSeriously!  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.

    You are so right, they are a tricky bunch. Bet they could pick this lock in about 2 seconds. Not sure anything will stop a teen boy from food. Feeding them is a challenge to say the least.

    Heck, I just went with a chain and combo lock on our second fridge and a small cupboard out in our garage. Seriously, if I don’t have those things locked up, I can kiss all the snacks, ice cream, Pasta Roni, butter, frozen biscuits, and Bagel Bites goodbye. They are faster and more devastating than a swarm of wild locusts! I totally love the whole mom-teenage interpretation! So, so true. And the daughters getting into the make-up and jewelry… I just thought I must be a total failure as a mother, but maybe my kids are just normal??

      @ LauraI call mine locusts all the time~ you’re kids are as normal as mine LOL
      @Devon–I know! but I still think I might get one and add a bike lock.
      @April–you have my full empathy
