Teenagers

My mom says we were the same way.  I of course remember it differently, however, I can remember being annoyed and trying desperately to hide that fact from my parents because I didn't want them to think that was annoyed. Because then I would be accused of having an attitude. And as I have been told about a million times, I have no poker face. My emotions show all over my face, all the time.

Well, my son has inherited that skill from me. I don't know that he views it in a positive light, but his emotions show all over his face. And I have to remember that it isn't personal, it's just a teenage thing. But that is so difficult to do in the moment.  The same arguments I had with my parents I am now having with him. As my wise friend E told me, it's inevitable that we become our parents. 

Well, maybe it is, but I am only go to allow it go so far.
