I am a mother of a sixteen year old! If you have a teenager at home you will understand where I am coming from. The rolling of the eyes, every time you say something to them? (because they have superior intelligence and you are just stupid Mom who doesn't know anything about anything). The back-talk (because everything was invented in their day and not back in the stone-age when you were their age) and, the territorialness about his/her room (which is in your house, that you paid for!). The moodiness which vacillates between periods of extreme euphoria and then deep depression several times a day! How do you get through the teenage years without suffering a stroke? How do I tell this super-intelligent human being that "I've been there, done that and have the t-shirt to prove it"!
