A box of frogs.

DD has an individual outlook on life. The blue hair, the giraffe onesie with the tail worn in public, the expertise with gin.
The latest thing: if you leave the room, get down on the floor and leer round the doorframe with your head horizontal, you can make the agéd parents gibber with fright.

Who else has a box of frogs living with them?

Mine's a vodka-drinking cosplayer. The other one is a werebear with a passion for Steampunk.
They are both nocturnal, so entering their rooms of a morning, after a night of creativity can be quite startling. What? What? Whatwhatwhat?

I love the peering round the door frame to give the 'rents a fright.

Not up to your DD's high standards of cookiness but my DD loves to loll around in her brown bear onesie with her fringe clipped up off her face in a tiny pony-tail that sticks straight up eating granola straight from the box with no milk.

Your DD sounds lovely.

At least she's trying to entertain you - FAR better than skulking in the corner in a sulk!

My eldest teen will talk to me in a gangster voice asking me what I did to "little Jimmy" and pretending me and him have been up to all kinds go gangster stuff. He totally denies this to anyone else and will only do it if his dad is out of the room. I try to ignore but it gives me the giggles and he sounds exactly like someone from an old time gangster film.

DD is exactly like Sue Heck from The Middle and is obsessed with unicorns. She has asked fir a unicorn onesie and a coulouring book called unicorns are jerks for Xmas.

My eldest DS likes to take my folding walking stick..folded..then ROLL down the stairs, corner into the living room and shoot us all..flicking it straight into a rifle shape.

We are then all obliged to die dramatically while he makes gun noises.

He's 20 Grin so not even a teen any more. But he IS funny. (Ever seen your elderly MIL pretending to die dramatically? Tis fun...)

All our assorted coffee mungs now have individual names - Simon, Reggie, Doris etc.
