Life with a 15 Year Old
As our family was watching the Lakers vs Nuggets basketball game last night, my 15 year old saw the Nuggets logo at center court and asked, “What is that supposed to be?” The logo is a mountain with two pickaxe’s crossed underneath.
I quickly responded, “Those are mining tools…NUGGETS?”
She popped back, “When I think of NUGGETS, I think of chicken nuggets.”
We’ve lost an entire generation now!
But it gets worse.
Just a few minutes later, my wife and I were talking about one of my dumbest moments in our married life when I brought home a two seater sports car (I had made a deposit) with her 6 months pregnant. She quickly said, “Take it back”, and in one of the smarter things I’ve done in my life, I obeyed.
My 15 year old listened to this, thought about what she would have said, and then jumped into the conversation, “I would have said, “no you di’int” and then smack!”
That got a chuckle from us all.Â
But the more I think about it, the more she may be telling the truth.
That’s the scarey thing.
