Ever had one of those days when you wonder why you were so excited to have kids? Remember that wonderful feeling you had when you found out you were pregnant and you couldn't wait to tell everyone? And then they grow up and become teenagers and you sometimes don't really like them? Today is one of those days. Teen #2 was supposed to have a basketball game....for some reason, the other school cancelled. She called to tell me and said she was walking to the high school to work out. She just called and this is what was said:
Teen #2: Can I go to Chelsea's house?
Me: I thought you were going to work out.
Teen #2: I have practice almost every night of the week, why do I have to work out?
Me: I guess you don't....you can go to Chelsea's until your sister is done with wrestling, then come home with her for dinner.
Teen #2: But what if I don't go to Chelsea's house until wrestling is almost done?
Me: Why wouldn't you go now?
Teen #2: She asked me to come over, but now I'm trying to call her back and she's not answering.
Me: Well, if she doesn't call you back until wrestling is almost over, you can't go, you can come home for dinner.
Teen #2: But I never get to see my friends anymore! Between volleyball and basketball I don't get to spend any time with them!
Me: Didn't we talk about that before you tried out for volleyball?
Teen #2: Why can't I just go to Cheslea's house?
Me: You can, until your sister is done with wrestling.
Teen #2: Whatever.....click
And I wonder why I have gray hair!

Sorry, but I'm LOL at that conversation, mainly because it didn't happen to ME.
Hmm, sounds familiar.
Maybe this is a second born thing, Nick's been pushing my buttons lately, too.
