sometimes my husband asks roo ... "is it a good thing? or is it LIKE a good thing?"

"like" makes him (and me) nuts

The English teacher in me flips out when hearing that.

Yea...I hear you all. I do believe my head is going to explode in T-minus 3..2........

"like, No Way!"......POOF!!!

I find the teeny boppers in Victoria's Secret to be much worse than the likes though.

Tiny G strings on a 14 yo are WRONG.

Oh man..you are so right, AnglophileFF . That and the endless layers of make-up astounds me.

*shudders*

if boarding school is THAT expensive

OMG you guys!

my 13 year old does not know about the whole G-string thing yet, I'm expecting her to learn many bad things this year in scholl

school

thongs are the ONLY acceptable underwear, didnt ya know?????? kill me

we are perfectly content with low rise bikinis and boy shorts

*throws up at the thought of a 14-year old wearing a thong*

at Target the other day and a teen was buying thongs with her mother and obviously knew the young man checking her out

that was just wrong!

well they are the next generation of breeders.

Actually, Sandy, I heard boarding school is the WORST place for kids to get into trouble.

Teenage hormones without much supervision?

i gave in to thongs becuz i have to pick my clothing battles. you toddler moms will see ... there are worse things.

her teenager will remain innocent for a bit longer

so too, for your sake bombmom

thank you planetofjanet

kids grow up too fast. but just fyi, bombmom, the difference between 13 and 14 is painfully unbelievable.

And you wonder why I want mine in the seminary? THIS is why.

UGH, I am so not looking forward to any of it

i want my 13-year-old back, honestly....

last summer was MUCH easier than this one. and last summer, i was in the middle of bat mitzvah hell! i'd take that anyday over today's drama

it's a sad statement of affairs when giving into thongs is the least of the battles

*shrug* just wait, honey. just wait.

thankfully they can do their own laundry at that age

THIS is true. and she does. i dont want to see the thongs unless i HAVE to

now looking for a house with a full apartment in the basement so I can lock the toddler in it when she's a teen.

she'll find a way out, teens are smart like that

dammit

WHY!

I just thank my lucky stars I don't have a girl.

I'm guilty of saying "like". Not as much as I did when I was a teen, but it still slips in.

I'm guilty, too. I really try not to, but sometimes it sneaks its way into my vocabulary
