Teenagers are so hilarious to me.
I have honestly been looking forward to the afternoon that my teenagers hit adolescence, because I knew it was going to be a funny ride.
When I feel back on myself as a teenager, I can’t help but laugh a lot. I was a real little shit. To be fair, I did particularly well in college & worked a nearly full-time job every single afternoon without my Dad having to encourage me in any way. Outside of that, however, I was a snarky little butthole & I did whatever I wanted to. I was regularly out with my friends drinking & recreationally stealing from Walmart to pass the time in a crappy little town, despite all of this, I did well for myself & became a successful adult. That’s why, I’m particularly looking forward to the trouble that my teenagers get into. I can’t wait to relate to them as small adults & laugh about the shenanigans that they find. Frankly, I’m not even mad that I accidentally found my son’s secret stash the other afternoon when I was cleaning out the ductworks. I have been noticing a peculiar aroma in the air every time the boiler kicked into gear, & the situation wasn’t getting any better with the air conditioner now being used. I decided it was time to change the air filter, vacuum out the air vents, & try my best to clean the ductworks without professional tools. I was going through the house, performing my routine cleaning tasks to the Heating & Air Conditioning system when my vacuum accidentally sucked up something giant from the ductwork in my son’s room. I found a small cardboard box, packed to the brim with all sorts of illicit materials just behind her air vent. It turns out, he’s been getting into tons of teenage trouble already, & our Heating & Air Conditioning ductworks were the perfect location for hiding her stash. Now I know where those peculiar aromas were coming from.
