Teenagers

I get emails from Groupon with new deals for our area. They always have some witty thing at the bottom. I wanted to share today's Groupon saying with you. It made me laugh.

The Groupon Guide to: Raising a Teenager

Everyone in the world knows a teenager, is a teenager, or has seen a teenager in a movie about teenagers. Here are a few tips for those tasked with raising those of teen-agery:

• Teenagers will always want to do the opposite of what you say, so use reverse psychology on them by reciting Freud’s theories backwards.
• Teens are notoriously reckless behind the wheel, so ensure that your teen is a safe driver by forcing them to drive you to work at the age of 5.
• Relate to your teen by dressing exactly like them and writing in their diary when they’re not home.
• Teens like to rebel, so teach them a lesson about the perils of rebellion by showing them Ken Burns’ Civil War documentary.
• Teach your teen a little something about respect by singing Aretha Franklin’s “Respect” at them all the time.
• Homeschool your teen to make sure they get the best education possible, then when they graduate, give them a homejob to ensure they have the best career.
