10 Signs Your Child Might Be a Teenager - By Erica

1. Every sentence begins, contains and ends with: umm, soooo, like, whatever, so yeah....

2. You can only enter their bedroom with a hazmat suit and God's blessing

3. You can have an entire conversation, and then realize they weren't listening to a thing you said.

4. They talk about weird things you've never heard about before, like SpaceBook, or even worse Mytwitface. Also cellphones become superglued to their hands and the only way to keep them from listening to their Ipod is to hide it and tell them the dog ate it.

5. Food doesn't last more than 22.78 minutes in the fridge.



6. They suddenly become willing to cooperate with you, but only until you drive them where they need to go, They alternate between declaring their independence and asking for help.

7. They develop an earnest, burning desire to pierce, dye, and tattoo.

8. They ask you for your opinion...and then do the exact opposite.

9. Along the same lines, they think your IQ falls somewhere in between Kermit the Frog and Elmo.

10. And finally, they begin to spend so much time in the bathroom they might as well live in it (Although girls are more prone to this than guys)

Disclaimer: Sometimes a rare kid won't openly display these symptoms. In that case check for fever and count your blessings.

    I guess God has a bit of a sense of humor?
