Adolescence is the age when children try to bring up their parents. Those who've never had any. Cleaning your house while your kids are at home is like trying to shovel the driveway during a snowstorm. Oh to be only half as wonderful as my child thought I was when he was small, and half as stupid as my teenager now thinks I am. There are only two things a child will share willingly, communicable diseases and his mother's age.
Adolescence is the age at which children stop asking questions because they know all the answers.
An alarm clock is a device for awakening people who don't have small children. No wonder kids are confused today.
