Teenagers: what's not to love?
Teenagers are at best unpredictable. But I like them. We really, truly
don't know what we are doing when it comes to raising them. Just about
the time you get to get your hands on your VERY own teenager, the
universe shifts and the gap between the generations ROAR and you are at a
loss how to a) speak their language, b) relate to their environment or
c) appreciate their taste in clothing/music/food. SOMETHING. Trent and
I consider ourselves fairly in-tune. We actually like a lot of the
kids music and most of their taste in movies. AND we have a decent
sense of humor. AND we don't freak out over stuff our parents freaked
out over. (We have our own standard regarding what we freak out over.
Evidently, EVERY generation refuses to freak out over some shit their
parents generation found unpardonable and then finds some other shit to
freak out over that the NEXT generation will completely accept as
normal. We have decided that THIS (and only this) is the only damn,
fucking truth. It might be the BIG secret.)
