Is there a teenager in the house???

She’s a teenager!  Here are a few pearls that have exploded from Maddy’s sweet mouth this week.

“My hair just needs to go away. AND. DIE!”

” I can’t help it if my stupid math teacher still lives with his mother and plays with stupid action figures and takes it out on us by giving us all Ds on the test!” (This is an actual teacher at the public school that she is now attending.  More on that in my next post)

“LOOK at my makeup!  LOOK at it!  You have to FIX it! I can’t go to school like this… MMMOMMMM!”

Can anyone out there feel my pain?  My mom gave me some great advice when Maddy turned 13.  She said “From here on out, don’t take anything she says personally, until she’s about 30.”  That’s what goes through my mind whenever the screaming, stomping, and flailing begins.  I hope I never forget that advice.  I’ll certainly need it!

  1. First time commenting! I don’t have children of my own but after serving with YW at church for the past 8 years or so, I’ve come to the conclusion that they are crabby from about 13-16 and then they usually become more loveable again after that. Usually. 😉

  2. What a great excuse for getting a D in math. That’s hilarious. I keep hoping that Anna will start acting a little bit like a teenager (she’s 15!!), but maybe I should just be grateful that she’s a late bloomer.
