If your teenager says any of the following, a major attitude adjustment may be required.

“It’s not like I’m smoking. It’s just vaping.”

“Curfews are for virgins.”

“The trooper was wrong. I was only 17 miles over the speed limit.”

“Like you never got stoned!”

“It’s not too short. I just won’t bend over.”

“I ate. And yes, Pop-Tarts are real food.”

“Oh, come on!”

“It’s only a dent. Nobody will notice the fender is dangling.”

“You can afford it.”

“It’s not like anyone can see the piercing.”

“You order stuff from Amazon all the time that you don’t need.”

“Just because you were a loser in high school doesn’t mean I have to be one.”
