Me: Why did you get a C- on your math test?
Teen: Well, all my friends were in DC......
Me: Huh?
Teen: I can't go to bed at 11:00 PM - I have too much homework.
Me: You don't have too much homework - you were too busy watching You Tube
Teen: I only watched You Tube a little - I was on Facebook and then I watched 'The OC'
Me: What's the rule?
Teen: Homework first.
Me: So Why was it not done first?
Teen: I forgot....
Me: Why were you arguing with Joe ( a neighborhood boy)
Teen: I told him he was a fat jerk.
Me: Why would you say that?
Teen: He was bothering me and he said I had thunder thighs..
Me: Before or after you called him a fat jerk?
Teen: After....
Me: Why is your drain clogged again?
Teen: I don't know.
Me: You need to stop putting toilet paper in the sink....
Teen: I don't do that anymore....
She was right...... it was her hair... ewwwww

ReplyDeleteWhen we had a huge male golden retriever, I had to vaccum almost every day. The dog hair was everywhere, and lots of it. When we got our boat, and the dog was no longer in our lives, there was still hair everywhere, and it was blond, just like good old Ben. Problem was, I realized it was coming from me!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou had to take the sink off to get to the clog, that had to be one heck of a clog! I so know what you are going through, but with time and age it does get better. That and their excuses will make you laugh.
ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad, my hair does the same thing, and I'm loooong past the teen years.
ReplyDeleteSounds just like my teen girl! And they never make sense!
ReplyDeleteIf I was you and she was my daughter, I highly doubt I could keep a straight face. Frustrating for you. Hilarious for me. :) I know. I know. Just wait! Right? I know!!!!!!
