THINGS I WISH MY 12-YEAR-OLD KID WOULD SAY

• “The first book in this series was so good, I can hardly wait to read the next five!”

• “I’m going to turn off my iPod and my cell phone for the weekend so I can concentrate on doing extra credit work in Algebra.”

• “I finished all of my chores, Dad. Is there anything else I can do for you?”

• “I’m going to go brush my teeth and get ready for bed.”

• “I’m going to take the dog for a walk. Be back in an hour.”

• “I don’t need my allowance this week, Dad. You’ve spent plenty on me already.”

• “Pass the broccoli, please.”

• “I’m going to stay after school for tutoring this week so I can raise my grades.”

• “I don’t want to see that movie, Dad. It’s rated R. Why don’t you and Mom go see it, and I’ll stay home?”

• “Good night, Dad. I love you.”

  1. On what planet do you live?? O....rite.....must be Pluto. Dream on, Jerry, cuz if he said any of those things, if I were you, I'd be mighty suspicious. Something really weird would be going on. I guarantee it!

  2. Wow! Judging by the comments posted here (and on my Facebook page), it doesn't look too encouraging.
