    Holly’s life is going to be over at THIRTEEN if she keeps this up!

    If that’s the way Holly really feels, then she better wake up! Her “midlife” crisis is just a few years away! :)

    It sounds like someone didn’t teach her manners when she was younger. I know that teenagers can be pills but I never dreamed of saying something like that when I was 13, I knew that was really rude and I’d be in trouble.

    If I were Holly, I wouldn’t be sleeping tonight.

    Jan, great that you are using seat belts — please keep them on unless more obvious that car is stopped and kid w/o seat belt is getting out. AND as for her conversation with Mom, I think it’s great that they have a relationship that encourages a 13 year old to have intelligent conversations — has nothing to do with being rude.

    This one is quite funny..love it and can totally relate to this as a mother with teenagers…:)

    I’d ask her to inform me as to what age is old. And ask her if she intends to die at that age. And does she think people who are older than that should just kick the bucket or something.

    This sounds like some of the “mock” arguements my Mom and I have. I say things like this just to get a rise out of her and she gives me the rise because she knows I’m joking.
    Course our ages are 22 and 2^5 respectively, so we get away with it.

    2^5, that’s 32? You have a very young mother for a 22-year-old!

    Maybe its a male thing but I was taught never to ask a woman her age

    Holly may not be such a smart a**. It’s a differn’t perspective at that age. When I was 20 and would read about somebody 60 passing I would say “at least they had a long happy life”. Now that I’m close to that my reaction is “my God and they were so young too”.

    Methinks that Holly should pay a visit to the local Senior citizen center (If they don’t cane her for being such a smartmouth)!

    frjsr you might have a point. when I was around 10, I wondered if I would ever live to be 40 - imagining that to be really old. Of course, I was gullible enough to believe my mom when she said she was 24. Like, she was 32 when I was born!

    My six year old thinks that the taller you are, the older you must be. Of course, I am taller and older than my husband, so it makes perfect sense to her.

    She also thinks that I’m 24, which I’m not correcting…

    34! She’s a BABY!

    That’s cute!
    When I was 6, I believed my teacher when she told me that she was 16.
    My Mom laughed when I told her, confused me! LOL.
