As I have aged I have mellowed, somewhat. At least I was starting to mellow, then my daughter hit high school. Now I find myself turning into a stark raving mad lunatic. It is right about this time in a teenager's life they begin to think that anyone over 30 is stupid. The parents are stupid, the teachers are stupid. Everyone is stupid.
If I hear the word stupid or the phrase "I don't care" one more time...
I didn't totally forget what teenagers are like my oldest is 23; but that oldest one is a male child. Here is the difference in male and female children, THE MOUTH. Girls do not know when to shut up. Boys get into trouble with grades or speeding tickets, maybe even something a little worse. Those problems get resolved, the teenage girl's mouth never ends, never has a resolution, it just goes on and on. She will say whatever comes into her wisdom deprived brain, not ever considering the consequences.
I completely understand why this phenomenom occurs. It is well documented that women tend to have better verbal skills than their male counterparts. Men do not express their feelings in a verbal way as women do. Therefore, the teenage girl is in a sort of training, trying to hone her verbal skills.
She has a long way to go to perfect those verbal skills.....ughhh
