#MidnightMadness – 4/18/2017
A conversation with my 15 yr. old daughter, who had just returned from the next door neighbor’s house.
Brianna – “My friend Jenny sure is turning into a teenager.”
Me – “Oh really? Why do you say that?”
Brianna – “Oh, you know… she’s just growing up and acting like the typical kind.”
Me – “Well, you are fifteen yourself… do you think you act like the typical teenager?
Brianna – “Who me? No, not really… what do you think?”
Me – “Oh Absolutely not! Lol….”
Brianna – “What about you mom? Do you see yourself as a fully grown woman?”
Me – “No, not at all… What do you think?”
Brianna – “Oh mom… not in a million years!” As she laughs uncontrollably.
Guess even my children can tell that I refuse to grow up. And she’s taking after me! Lol…. ~M 😉
Silly me…
Just picked up my fifteen year old daughter from a Super Bowl party. I asked her who won and she said, “Oh the Patriots,” I asked her who they played, and she said…“Ummmm, Atlantis?” I said, “You mean Atlanta?” She replied, “Oh yeah, silly me… I’m tired.”
And yet for some crazy reason, I feel like I’m the silly one… I actually had no idea who was playing. Lol…
Can you tell I’m a huge football fan? 😉
Oh the joys of children…
Don’t get me wrong here, I love my girls to the moon and back. However, I’ve come to the conclusion, that the reason most parents don’t warn their own children about having babies, is simply because they realize that if they do, the human population would eventually cease to exist.
It’s not so much about the infant or toddler years. Heck, even the grammar school age is fairly simple. But the teenage years and a little beyond that….. Yes, those are the years I should have been forewarned about! Plus, parents don’t warn their children about having kids, because they have to be able to get even somehow! Lol….
Anyway, my children are driving me insane right now, and if God doesn’t intervene soon, I may not make it through the end of this month! I am dealing with a wedding this week. Yes, my second oldest this time around. And if my two oldest daughters can’t be civil with one another, I fear I may not survive!
Just a few more weeks…. I’m home free after December 31st! Hope I last that long! 😉
