Actual Arguments Made By My Teenage Sons
You know how it goes when you’re chatting with your kids. The moment I finish my sentence, I hear “der der der” come out of their mouths. I’m pretty sure it’s not a jab at my smarts or a sign that they don’t value my thoughts.
When I take a break from scrolling through my phone for just three seconds after being commanded to “Get off that phone!” I’m fully complying, since you didn’t mention how long I needed to stay off it.
And then there’s the classic “Do something together” request. We took that to mean our raucous game of running through the house and whacking each other with pool noodles totally counts as “something.”
If I can still see even a hint of your iris, then, by definition, you haven’t rolled your eyes at me.
You’ve made a habit of asking, “Will parents be home?” every time I want to hang out with a friend. So when you forgot to ask one day, I took that as a clear sign that the usual rule about parental supervision had changed.
When you shouted “No gaming!” with your arms flailing near the laptop, I admit, your words were a bit jumbled. But we interpreted “That’s it!” as a specific limit on what you meant. Notably, there was no mention of the PS4 in another room being off-limits in your outburst.
And let’s be real—everyone else is allowed to play!
