The Definition of a Teen.

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with WHISPERING PINES REALTY 20398180

Most of us has had one will have one or has one now, and if you didn't fit into that category...Know of one.  They are the smartest people around in their opinion, yet have no idea what the world is really about.  So, let's get a better understanding of what a 'TEEN' is.

A teen is....

A person who can't remember to walk the dog, but never forgets a phone number.

A weight watcher who goes on a diet by giving up candy bars for breakfast.

Someone who gets their allowance on Monday, spends it on Tuesday and borrows from a best friend on Wednesday.

Someone who can hear a Madonna song 3 blocks away, but can't here Mom calling from the next room.

A whiz that can run the latest computer program but can't make their bed.

A student that will study 12 minutes for a History exam and 12 hours for the drivers exam.

An enthusiast that can bike for hours but doesn't have the energy to dry the dishes.

A connisour of two kinds of fine music...Loud and LOUDER!

A young women who lover her cat but tolerates her brother.

A person that is always late for dinner, but always on time for a rock concert.

A romantic who never falls in love more than once a week.

A boy who can sleep until noon on Saturday if he suspects that the lawn needs mowing.

An original thinkier who is positive that MOM was never a teenager.

Now, does that remind you of anyone?!

I lived through that age with my daughter, as I suspect my mother did with me. The great part is... my daughter has that to look forward to with her son.

When I was a teen, I thought I knew everything! Now I just try to remember if I put my pants on!

It is annoying to think that I was once like this and hopeful to think that my teenager will grow out of this.

This is a good 'starting' list.  The complicated teen is one that even science does not understand!
