How does a teen ask his date to the prom...? Very creatively
In case you
are not sure whether you are living with a typical teenager, there are sure
signs to look for. Before I get to those signs, let me tell you my hypothesis
about teens…
Teenagers
have similar, identifiable patterns (this is not a real hypothesis, but go with
me for a minute). One of those patterns is a teens lack of planning ahead.
One
afternoon while I was at work my son texted me with the message, “when can I
get a suit, I’m going to prom now.” Prom was nine days away. I asked my son a
couple weeks prior to this whether he was going to the prom. His response was, “No,
I don’t think I’m gonna go.”
If I was a
cartoon character, my head would have popped or I would have had smoke shooting
from my ears in frustration. Instead, I
Six day left
until prom and I’m trying to get my son to find out how he’s getting to the
prom. The latest thing I hear was that several people were going together.
Without sounding overbearing, I tried to slip in a few questions. Who’s house will you meet at? Is someone
renting a limo? What time does prom actually start? I needed to talk to
someone’s parent.
Back to my
hypothesis, here’s support for the hypothesis teens fit certain patterns or 5
signs that you live with a teenager.
1. Teen often, do not plan ahead
2. Some teens text constantly, sometimes
even when they’re in the same room with the person they’re texting
3. They like to walk around with earbuds
or head phones on; they may not even be listening to anything, but just don’t
want you to talk to them at the moment
4. They sign and appear agitated with any
question that you ask them
Mom: Did you turn in the form to your teacher that I asked you to?
Son: yeeesss mom
5. You wouldn’t trade them for anyone
else’s teen
Have you
experienced the craziness and love of a teen?
