My 16yo informs me that their room is cleaned up and, "... there's a lot more room for books now, so you can get me more books if you want."

Hubs: That's weird. You haven't had homework all week.
Youngest: Yeah... that is weird. Especially since I'm not even lying this time.

If you ever wondered what parenting teens us like...
... they always have some fandom. Sometimes it's a sport. Sometimes it's a game. Sometimes it's a fiction series or class.
But you will be there listening to chaos in action at least 80% of the time.

This was #Teen1 GSCE day x2 years ago.
She’s collecting her A-Level results with her bestie at 1pm…
She is SO chilled.
I am less so.
She’s decided not to go to uni & has secured a job for a year before she travels 🇦🇺 & 🇳🇿 for 18 months.
How can my number 1 be so big & yet so little?

I don't know. But then again, I have kids who casually use words like OBLIGATORY and OVERMORROW in casual conversation.

Bug had to write something about a biome for his environmental sciences class. So he picked the Abyssal Plains (in the ocean), wrote the details as a poem, and added a drawing of a giant squid because he had room left over.
