My mom threatened to give me a whipping when I was in ninth grade. I didn’t believe she was capable of it at the time, but I asked why, and she said she’d do that if I was lying to her about something the math teacher who was also the gym teacher said that I said. I had a bit of a go around with him that year so we weren’t getting along very well.

I thanked my mother for letting me live through my teenage years. She said she figured it was only fair, since her mother let her live through hers.

My daughter was an exchange student in another country for 10 months when she was 17. That is the only way I survived her teen years.

Hard wear puts extra lines on parents’ faces. Putting ‘hard wear’ on the seat of the child’s pants is an even trade.
