Just sounds like most teen girls, come on really what did you expect?
I wonder if your mother would confirm that. :)
Tell her she's too young to have a 21-year old son.
I luv Barry!
"My daughter just became a teenager - perhaps this looking into the future might keep me sane."
Ohmigoodness! NOTHING will keep you sane. Hang on for about 6 years, I hope you'll be ok then. I hope my own 20 year old, and I will continue to be OK.
I still think we should replace the entire US military with teenage girls, just drop them into terror zones. Maybe give them guns, ok? And that should take care of the Saddams, etc. of the world.
Lol, the Saddams would be begging for a free trip to Gitmo. The princess group have moved to daughter's room and, for lack of anything else to do, are silently blowing up balloons. The rest of the party have eaten burgers and are back in the water having fun. The veggie freaked thinking I'd made potato salad with marshmallow fluff instead of mayo. Huh??? Poor clueless child, and to think she's taking Pre-AP classes.
People with good taste do. ;o)
Once upon a time, many years ago, I agreed to be a leader along with 4 other adults, of 25 teenaged girls as we went on a hike/bike overnight on a local island. These girls each brought their entire wardrobes, a drug store-full of makeup and hair care products and they changed every 15 minutes. They postured and posed. These were not city kids but the children of wealthy llbean type suburbanites. It was the longest 24 hour period I have ever spent in my life.
We know better though, dont we Millee :o)
MM
Is this what we have to look forward to?
LOL. That reminds me of my sister. She wouldn't get her hair wet at the swimming pool or lake. Of course, back then she wore a can of hairspray, and water did nasty things to a head of hairspray.
We let Hobbit Lass have a cookout last month--with boys! Wait until you see how they act with boys around. Then there was the one boy who got in the hot tub with his socks on.....
What's she going to do about all the meat molecules that have oozed their way onto the cheese? Shouldn't she just have ordered plain cheese?
My daughters are teens and even they can't stand the way most of the girls their age act. (I won't say *peers* because they don't act like this, but they'll get a really good laugh out of this one.)
You mean you still are from when they were toddlers? Keep hoping.
Good for you!!! What a wuss. I hope you've told her that it NEVER gets better after marriage. What'd he want then, for her to spoon feed him, too? Sheesh. She needs to find someone more grown up. A good dose of the military would straighten him out.
That reminds me of a week long camping trip my kids went on. They were backpacking it, hiking, canoes, the whole nine yards of roughing it. Some of the girls brought 2 backpacks worth of stuff (only one was possible since they had to CARRY it plus their own shoare of the food); a clean change of PJ's for everynight, along with more than a weeks worth of clothes, make up (for the bears?), but no water bottles. It was fun watching them pare it down and seeing their reactions. Clueless.
When I was working in the travel business, and traveling a lot, I always packed light. I would fit everything into one carry-on.
I definitely wasn't the "prissy" type when I was a teen, either, but I was accused of being "prissy" at swim parties, the beach, etc. because I wouldn't put my head under the water. (The fact is, I couldn't swim - I still can't. Growing up, we didn't have a pool and I knew no one with a pool). :-0 I still can't bring myself to put my head under - just deathly fearful of water here.
But it sounds like these girls aren't looking for an excuse... They just don't want their hair messed up. :-)
I am glad mine are grown. Thanks for the laughs.
This is what happens when you don't take them fishing and camping when they are little.
I'll be stuck here with the wimpy princess group who won't want their hair mussed by the wind.
Maybe hubby should go around delivering "noogies".
Same for me plus I couldn't stand getting the water in my nose and ears. Funny thing is, all my kids swam competitively and two are lifeguards; the third will be when she's old enough. They always joke about the green hair.
