Walking through the waters of parenting a teenager can be a bit treacherous at times. You are never quite sure what you'll get.
Actual conversation at our home last week....
Mom: "Darling, I just wanted to let you know ahead of time about something so you wouldn't freak out tomorrow at school if someone says something....last night at the Jr. High game I was throwing the football with Eric and Thomas." (If you don't have a teenager let me explain...Mom is NOT supposed to talk, smile or much less throw the football with anyone in High School...)
Darling Daughter: No response
Darling Daughter: Still no response
Darling Daughter: "Mom?"
Mom: "Yes?
Darling Daughter: "You did throw it good...didn't you?"
Mom: "Yes, darling, a perfect spiral every time."
Darling Daughter: Big smile
Mom: Bigger smile!!!!
Thankful for smiles and perfectly thrown spirals,
Teresa
