Dear Sally ...
...The (14 yo) daughter got her BRIGHT BLUE orthodonture installed... the parents are OVER fifty (that translates into a bit fatigued by 9) ... and at dinner last night, the child/teen said she had prepared a POWERPOINT PRESENTATION about why she believed she should NOT have to attend school today. MUSIC and everything... even her older (16 yo) brother was supportive! After all this jazz....the parents turned her down. They hate that. Guilt, heart twist......Or could it be chest pain? Dementia, et tu?
So, they gave her the Jamba-Juice-Love-Treatment. It broke their parental hearts how much the "BLUETOOTHBANDS" were hurting. Even Mr.CoolBro broke a sweat.
Parental take-away:
Our teens' needs are parallel to the needs that they had when they were toddlers. Teens = Toddlerhood 2nd x around.
We spent their babyhoods, toddlerhoods, childhoods and teens WITH them... so... guess what... they need us... still. These teens are getting ready for their launch and we are on CALL. Ten... nine... eight...
