My 15 year old daughter walked in to my room last night and said, "Mom, I think I've changed. I realize that I like you and I don't mind being around you anymore."
okaaaay.... "That's great," I responded. "What caused this change?"
"Well, I think I didn't like you while I was in middle school because I was immature and trying to be cool. But now that I am going in to high school, I'm much more mature. But mom, I have bad news for you."
"This all sounds pretty good to me. What could be bad?" I asked.
"Well, you have 3 more years of 'bad' coming your way."
"How do you figure that?"
"Because Sam (little brother) is going in to middle school and you know he is gonna be a terd."
I hear a loud screech from inside the house. I hear him saying something about "it's not fair," and I try to tune him out. I realize my son is having a hormone induced melt down in the back of the house.
"Yeah, he is definitely going to be a terd," I said.
It's going to be a long 3 years...
Ha ha... good to know I'll get my daughter back in 4 years, lol... Been through the boy thing from 13-18 was hell! Good Luck!
ReplyDeletenew follower - came on over from Jenn's blog recommendation. Also because I am a middle aged gal too. No I take that back - according to AARP I am a senior. But I consider myself a middle aged senior.
ReplyDeleteI had 3 teen boys once - I lived through it. They were not that bad - its when they got older!
