It’s been over a year since I’ve done one of these, and things have changed. Can you tell they are both teenagers now?
1. The Boy: They both knit, both wear suspenders and big rimmed glasses. The difference between Hipsters and Old folks is that the old folks call them the good old days and Hipsters call them retro.
2. The Boy texting with an ADHD friend who is in a car on a long distance trip and going nuts: Just start flailing your arms and licking the window. That’s what I do.
3. The Boy: Something’s wrong with me, Mom. These girls are texting, trying to flirt, and I don’t want to. I don’t feel like it. (This last part said with a sense of horror)
4. The Boy: Nobody sits and perceives the stool. They just sit.
5. The Boy: The subconscious is a bit too subconscious for me.
6. The Girl (to a cat): You’re so fluffy. I love you.
7. The Girl (regarding a McDonald’s ad): I don’t agree with them. They say “joy is a gift, this is the box it comes in.” Joy is not a gift, it’s human nature. And joy doesn’t come in that box; heart disease does.
8. The Girl: No one wants a cell phone that nags.
9. The Girl: Ugh boots. I love the name. It perfectly describes how I feel about them.
10. The Boy: I tried to bake you a cake for your birthday.
Me: I saw no signs of it.
The Boy: I premeditated it.
11. The Girl: (to the cat) Don’t scratch me. That’s not part of being cute.
12. Me: (regarding a bullet he found on the ground) What if it’s from a crime scene or something?
The Boy: I found it on the corner by the hang out. Of COURSE it’s from a crime scene.
13. The Boy regarding a wristband he was wearing: It’s been through Hll. It’s even been through concerts!
And two bonuses just because I ran out of room
The Girl: I needs soul candy. Come to me kitty. (as she chases a cat)
The Boy:I like having big hands. They can squish things.
I’m not familiar with the McDonald’s ad your daughter saw, but I would’ve probably said the same thing!
Both no.7 and no.12 are classic. Although I do feel a bit sorry for the cat.
Thanks for the laugh, Alice. The one about the girls flirting with your son cracked me up
Proof that when they become teenagers the alien DNA that was left within the human species millennium ago surfaces between the age 12-22. Put your survival instinct in full shield mode and raise your tolerance shields.
Weird. This is awfully close to the book I’m writing right now.
Well that was fun!
great fun Thanks
LOL! Love when you do these TTs!
*hugs*

I FOTFLMAO on #2. I have a teen boy, a preteen boy and a 7 year old boy. I need to start writing what they say down.
#s 2 and 12 are my favourites. Your teenagers sound like great kids.
LMAO!!!! “Joy doesn’t come in THAT box. Heart disease does.” LOVE IT.
Your son is awesome too btw. “Just flail your arms and lick the window. That’s what I do.” Buhahahahahaw!!!!
LOL! Those kids — not only fun, but sometimes wiser than you expect. Mostly funny.
I said number 6 to my cat. And then he brought me a dead bird. He’s so adorable and fluffy and cute, but he keeps giving me dead things as presents. I wish he wouldn’t.
ROFL…love number ten!
“Don’t scratch me. That’s not part of being cute.” As a lifelong cat owner, I LOVE that one!
Love those quotes! Especially the subconscious one! I always mean to write down the funny stuff, but rarely do…
Happy Thursday 13!
haha that was fun.
it’s amazing how you remember what they said. Maybe I could do the same with my students, I have a lot of funny moment too.
Girl and cat are meant to be with each other
I write them down as they come up.
Methinks that Girl loves the cats like I love mine. And yes, scratching ain’t part of being cute.
And I totally agree on McD’s — eat the box it comes in, better than the food.
The Boy is SO intellectual! He cracks me up!!
