Or ways to make your kids say “you suck”.  LOL!  File this under they say the darndest things!

My 16 year old comes into my office and sees a nearly empty bag of pretzels on my desk (yes I”m too lazy to throw it away), and wants to know if he can have some.

I say “sure, except it’s empty”

Roger “There’s still some!” takes the bag of crumbs and runs out of the office just as I say bring me the other bag.  As he’s bringing me the OTHER bad of pretzels Roger says “You suck mom!  These taste gross.  The other ones are better!  Why didn’t you tell me these were FAT FREE!?!?!”

Me “Because they both are fat free.  All pretzels are fat free”.

Roger “Nu uh!!  This bag SAYS “Fat Free” on it and the other one doesn’t.  Why’s that???  HUH??”

Me “Advertising”

Roger checks to see what the back of the bags say and sees that ONCE AGAIN  Mom is RIGHT!!  Both bags have 0 grams of fat.

Roger “But this one tastes gross!  and the other doesn’t!”

Me “Could be because you ate the crumbs from a bag that’s been sitting open for several days”

Roger “You still suck!”

Aren’t teenagers great?
