Teenager Talk

Me (bummin' around with Jessie): Do you still have those scars on your toes from when you were a baby? You know ... because a few strands of my hair were stuck in the footy of your PJ's and got wrapped around them too tightly?

Jessie (bummin' around with me): Yep, they're right there.

Me: Hmmm ... Sure enough!

Silence.

Me: Did you know I also dropped you in your car seat when you were a baby?

Silence.

Me: And there was of course that curling iron accident when it fell off the counter and landed on your chubby little bare leg.

Blank stare.

Jessie: And I still turned out the best of all three kids!!

Chuckle, cough, snort ...

Don't ya' just love teenagers?

I do. They may be the most entertaining people in the whole world.
