Does anyone else have a teenager that speaks another language? I swear something gets lost in translation everytime I talk to mine. It goes a little like this:
Me: I guess I'll drive you to youth group if I have to.
What she hears: God Damn It!! Why do I have to drive you to freaking youth group!? I hate driving you. It's such a waste of my time. You should just not go.
Me: Sure you can go to that concert
What she hears: Sure, you can go to that concert and I'll buy you some tickets and your friend's tickets, and I'll drive you and all your friends and buy you some stuff to eat and hang around the whole time and be totally there when you are done and it will be SO MUCH FUN!!
Me: are you almost done on the computer?
What she hears: OMG hurry the hell up!! What the hell are you doing on there just wasting all your time looking at Myspace and not really doing your homework like you said you were.
Oh wait maybe that is what I was really thinking.

YOu will survive, so will she.
