Teenagers ~ Why Humans Invented Alcohol & Prozac
I swear! If it weren't for lethal injection and an innate fear of burning in hell for all eternity...Strike 1: Earlier this week, Michael informed us that he needed a signature on some paperwork that was due back to his teacher last Friday. This was something that he really wanted to do, so you'd think he'd make sure that he got the form filled out and returned. One house rule - no last minute plans. If you can't ask at least 2 days in advance, it ain't happenin'.
Strike 2: We don't have a vehicle right now, due to multiple problems, so we informed Michael that he couldn't go. His answer? "My teacher can take me." Serious error in judgement on his part, as one very serious no-no in our house is inviting yourself places. Even worse? Volunteering others to take you somewhere you don't have permission to go.
Strike 3: Tonight, as Michael was talking to his mom, he mentioned something about 'picking her up'. When asked who they were 'picking up,' Michael informed Dad that Mom had agreed to take him and a friend on this outing that we had told him he couldn't attend. Not only did he go behind our backs to ask his mom to chauffeur them, he (we found out) involved his teacher in getting Mom directions.
So, when Mom got here, we told her what was going on. Her response? "Well, I guess we're not going, then. Are we?" Yea, Mom!
