Teenagers have a lot in common with cats
Teenagers have a lot in common with cats
1.) Neither teenagers nor cats turn their heads when you call them by name. 2.) No matter what you do for them, it is not enough. Indeed, al human efforts are barely adequate to compensate for the privilege of waiting on them hand and foot. 3.) You rarely see a cat walking outside of the house with an adult human being, and it can be safely said that no teenager in his or her right mind wants to be seen in public with his or her parents. 4.) Even if you tell jokes as well as Jasper Carrott (a British comedian), neither your cat nor your teen will ever crack a smile. 5.) No cat or teenager shares your taste in music. 6.) Cats and teenagers can lie on the sitting room sofa for hours on end without moving, barely breathing. 7.) Cats have nine lives. Teenagers carry on as if they did. 8.) Cats and teenagers yawn in exactly the same manner, communicating that ultimate human ecstasy - a sense of complete and utter boredom. 9.) Cats and teenagers do not improve anyone's furniture. 10.) Cats that are free to roam outside have been known to return in the middle of the night to deposit a dead animal in your bedroom. Teenagers are not above that sort of behaviour. And remember, above all else, put out the food and do not make any sudden moves in their direction. When they make up their minds, they will finally come to you for some affection and comfort, and it will be a triumphant moment for all concerned.

Well so far, I haven't caught Nathan spraying on the furniture. Mind you, he's too young to be coming home drunk... Ugh. You just reminded me of the guy on my freshman hall who would invariably pee in the common area when he got drunk, which was every weekend. What is *wrong* with these people?? I remember his poor roommate, a very fastidious guy, who had to *teach* this guy how to clean up after himself, as he was completely unfamiliar with the use of cleaning supplies ... Yeah, and guess which of these two guys was more popular. Go figure. -- monique, who is sometimes allowed to pet Oscar, a grey^H^H^H^Hblue-cream DLH with an attitude! |
