Teenagers are meanie heads.
My oldest son just turned 13 a couple of weeks ago. He is barely even a teenager, but I have decided that I am not fond of this new teenage attitude that tends to accompany teenagers and their raging hormones.
He has always been so pleasant, calm, compliant, loving, and just plain peaceful. He has always been the peace maker between his younger brothers.
Recently, he has become snippy, moody, emotional, and seems irritated by the smallest things.
He still has great qualities, but this sudden change in his personality is rather frustrating. I have a feeling that this whole gang is acting much the same way.....
These are his 13 year old, hormonal, emotional buddies.
I bet they have become meanie heads, too.
This morning, after I finished getting ready for school, I noticed Tucker was already dressed and ready. He was sitting on the stool at our kitchen counter with his back turned to me. He was doing something with either his cell phone or IPOD.
I came up behind him and wrapped my arms around him and kissed him on the top of the head.
Instead of reciprocating my affection, he retorted in a disgusted tone....
"What are you doing?"
As if I was violating some sort of teenage unwritten rule.
I replied....
"I am just giving you some love. Geez."
He said,
"Well, STOP!"
What a meanie head.

Ouch. Sniff. Oh, dear.
The transition into teenager-ness is hard not only on the teen himself, but on the parents.
I have several more years until I get there, but I'm thinking of you!
