Someone please tell me just why they are necessary? I, for one, could certainly do without them.
Right now at any rate.

I'm sure you've heard by now that blue is the new black, forty is the new thirty and they're lying through their teeth when they say that last thing. Also, imaginary childhood friends (you know you had one) have been replaced with online friends. They're the same in that no one ever really sees them, but you talk to them, you play with them, your other friends and family think you're just this side of a restraining jacket and you're a lot older than you were when you first had friends you never saw. Sure they're real you might say in that mocking tone you have . Well stop that. Save your mocking for later on when I tell you all about my Internet friends. No, I can't see them, or touch them, although some of them have asked me....um, well, we'll go into that later. People have become friends with other people across the world, sometimes they've become friends with people they'd never become friends with in RL. That means real life for ...
At the risk of sounding to coarse. Don't be such a cry baby! In a little while you will be wondering where did the time go. My advise is: Treat them like adults. They will like that until they don't like it anymore. Enjoy your time with them it's short.
ReplyDeleteI've tried treating them like adults but it's not worked. Apparently all of them are the same so I pity the planet in 10 years.
ReplyDeleteYou can't treat them like adults and expect what you want when you want it. What you should expect is a prepared adult in 10 years. If they are not prepared it will not be their fault. "Green and clean my friend... Green and clean..."
ReplyDelete:D
ReplyDeleteUmmmm I think the answer is, without teenagers eventually there would be no adults.
Thats it...
That and hope that there will come a day that you are happy they are your kids again!
Ok, I'm not entirely unhappy with my children. It's just that this morning I had some issues with my oldest daughter.
ReplyDeleteWe're good now. I should learn not to blog when I'm frustrated.
Oh, and anonymous? My blog no longer accepts posts from anonyymous. You will have to out yourself.
Pammy baby, I bet you were a gorgeous teenager too.
ReplyDeleteI always think about the stages we all go through - it's interesting to watch the perspective change as we get older. And remember back to being a teenager and what was important to us then.
God, I can be a sensible but very annoying sort of a chap can't I.
I was a really nasty adolescent, from the moment I was thirteen until the moment I stopped being nineteen. Just horrendous. Think Kevin, only much worse.
ReplyDeleteAre they really necessary? Can't they just all be shipped off to a camp somewhere? Think of all the rubbish music we'd be able to do without!
Tommy, you're sensible in a cute way.
ReplyDeleteKrusty, I don't really want to ship them off. I still love and adore them. It's just that yesterday my oldest was PMSing and taking it out on me and I wasn't really in the mood to be talked back to. Ok, I'm never in the mood for that.
All is well now. She apologized and this morning was much better.
