Parenting Stupidy

I am convinced that something happens to our dear sweet, innocent twelve year olds on the eve of their thirteenth birthday...Their brains, they take a decade long hiatus...trust me.

Teenagers can't find any thing, I swear they need seeing eye dogs...  Except sugar and cash, that they find that nanoseconds ...The kid that misplaces my sewing scissors, seconds before, can find a chocolate bar I hid in the bottom left corner of the freezer before I remember I put it there and the other kid who hasn't seen his band instrument in 17 days, finds the $6.50 in change I left in my pants pocket two weeks ago....

The last week has proven that there is a very fine blurry line, between teenager stupidity and insanity...

I had to ask, demand that my brilliant teenagers remove an inappropriate video on vines...I would have never imagined gummy bears could be inappropriate, but I have apparently underestimated the skills of my stupid teenage daughters....{How'd I find it...same kids downloaded the app on my phone and favourited their handy work}awesome

So this conversation happened last week....

M: We are going to be late...
Me: Why?
M: Alex got detention
Me: Say what? (positive I had miss heard)
M: Alex got detention!
Me: The perfect one?!?! The one who has never gotten in trouble at school before?
M: Yup that's the one!
Me: What'd she do???
M: Left her 'artwork' on her desk...
Me: You let graffiti artist know, there will be consequences when she gets home! I say laughing, cause I find great humour in princess getting knocked own a notch or two


Then Grant and I get in OUR van after a few days of letting Race car Madison drive it to school...with the implicit instructions that it is NOT to leave the school parking lot during school time....Grant and I can't even see the floor thru all the Starbucks cups, Timmies bags and McDonalds wrappers...

'You aren't allowed to take OUR van any where but school!!!'

'I don't!!!!'

'Really?!?....Ever heard of a garbage bag, darling????'

'Oh aaa sorry!'

I love my teenagers!!! Their stupidity not so much!
