Snapshot of a Week in the Life of Being the Mama of a Teen Boy:
Scenario 1: (Watching the garbage truck pull out)
Me: “Well hm. I guess I didn’t need to go into all that with the garbage guy. Sometimes I think I just talk too much.”
Teen boy: “Yeah.”

Scenario 2: (In the hay field)
Teen boy: “Man mom, a cold lemonade sounds good right now.”
Me: “You want ME to fetch drinks? Hey I’m buckin hay here, not fetchin drinks. I’m not just a pretty face ya know.”
Teen boy: “No. You’re not.”
Me: “Uhhhh?”
Teen boy: “You’re the PRETTIEST face.”

And that, folks, pretty much sums up how it is living with the wild and growing creature we all call a Teenager.
