Hmm

My friend's 7 yr-old DD gave her a long-suffering sigh, a withering sidelong glance and said, 'You know, I do hate it when old people try to be cool.'

Hi 3. Yes thanks, they have been off for about a month. Just the retainers now. The teeth look great-bit of getting used to seeing him without the braces.

It's his birthday too next week. Smile

I don't have teenagers but I remember my favourite line to my mom, when feeling distraught over not bei along allowed to a party or a new clothing request was turned down. Was "it's times like this I REALLY wish you'd used protection, I DID NOT ask to be born"
I was a brat. I apologise to my mom frequently and am not looking forward to karma coming to bite me in the ass

"If you think you're leaving the house dressed like that you've got another think coming!"

I was in my DIY clothes and the only reason I was leaving the house was to give him and his mates a lift Hmm

"she's fat, she's round

My DD bought me some face cream for my birthday when she was about 14. She said 'I would have bought you the age-defying one but it was too expensive' !

My dad complained about DS being too loud on his guitar and not turning it down when requested or wearing his headphones and answering back and huffing when told to turn it down.

"DS why DO YOU behave like this?"

DS "Dunno granda, must be my bad genes"

Grin Dad has 4 guitars. And my mum is never done complaining about how loud he is and how it won't wear the very expensive headphones she bought him for Christmas!

(Sitting next to me on the sofa) 'Is there any chance you could run me a bath and I could watch Supernatural while I'm in it?'
Me: 'Erm... No?'
'Well then, I HATE my life.'

Grin

Me: 'I want you to do something for me, and you're not going to like it.'
Her: 'I'm not waxing your back....'

ConfusedHmm

Have posted this before but I am always calling my teenage daughters by each other's names. I jokingly suggested calling them both by an amalgam of their two names to save me being bothered to remember their names, eg if they were Kate and Poppy they could both be known as Pate or maybe Koppy).

Without a second's pause DD1 said, "that's fine, shall we call you and Dad, "Mad" or "Dum"?
