    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.

    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.

    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!

    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…

    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.

    I believe that a person is only as old as they feel. If they feel old, they will function that way, if they feel young, they will behave more like a young person.
