CJ The Horror of Teenagers (a Chris-ism)
September 5th, 2005 by CJ
I haven't done one of these in awhile and I need to. My last post made me feel a little better about things as I was able to again find some humor tucked deep down inside me. This site used to be informative AND entertaining and I somehow went astray. Emily and I discussed the reasons we thought we haven't had a good Chris-ism lately and we came to a unified reason: now that school has started, Chris is actually learning stuff and isn't stuck with his dumb parents all day long. We stunted his intellectual growth over summer vacation and he's now free to further increase the size of his large noggin with actual, useful information.
Yesterday, I took Chris with me to go visit a family from church and see how they were doing. Since my partner wasn't able to come along I asked Chris if he wanted to go and he did. On the way, I talked to him about the fact that we were going there to check on the family preach a little about gratitude (not that they needed it, just my topic this month). He said that he would be quiet and just play with the kids. I told him they didn't have any kids to play since their kids were teenagers.
"OH, NO. TEENAGERS?!" Chris gasped in horrified shock. I'm sure most parents of teenagers know what he's talking about.
And that's today's Chris-ism, filed under Chris's Perspective to the right.
Oh yes, TEENAGERS, horrid creachers I'd say. I am with Chris here….lol
What a bright boy!
~shudders~
I got TWO of the species in female form.
It gets UGLY at times.
i completely concur wtih all of the above…
That's funny! I have about 4 years before I have a teenager but he's already getting lippy like one! Or at least like me when I was a teenager!
Yesterday we went to Otter Creek here in Kentucky for Labor Day. We went with some friends. After hiking the kids wanted to play in the creek. So we told them we had to go to the cars first to get some more water and then they could go wading. The kids kept pestering to go to the water. We kept saying they could go wading in just a bit. Jannie, my youngest, finally exclaimed out of frustration, "Why do you keep telling us to wade? I'm tired of wading!" (Think wait and waiting! LOL)!
Ah, CJ! It's not that you and Emily are "dumb". It's just that you don't think with the mind of a child! If you think he's learning from the teachers, just WAIT until you find out what he learns from his PEERS! *rolling my eyes* Even my students with fairly significant disabilities learn to fart with their armpits, burp on command, etc. You'll wonder why you ever sent Chris to school! LOL
