This is the dialogue that ensued.
Me: Oh, I remember this song came out when I was a teenager.
K-boy: That was about one hundred years ago, right?
Me (ignoring him): Listen to the words, K-boy! There have always been songs that are great for people your age. Hear that?...'the future's open wide!'
K-boy (deadpan): Not for you, Mom.
Me (devastated): Whaa! Agh, you're right! I was a kid when this song came out, and now I'm going to be the mother of a teenager. My youth is goooone!
K-boy: Oops, you're really just realizing that? Sorry!
Me: Sniff. Well at least you're a wonderful kid.
K-boy: Yeah, till my birthday next week. Then I'll turn moody.
Me: Just because you're turning thirteen doesn't mean you have to turn moody.
K-boy (grinning): Moody!
This is how gray hair is earned.
*My discussion with my son did not involve the full lyrics to the above mentioned song.

Is that what causes gray hair? Because I have a few and I don't have a nearly teenager :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I started getting them earlier too. I think it must be our Momsense, knowing what's in store for us down the road.;)
DeleteYou know when our sweet little boy turned moody? A handful of days after his thirteenth birthday.
ReplyDeleteOh no, don't tell me that!
DeleteHey, at least he calls his attitude like it is, right? Sounds like he's going to keep you on your toes :)
ReplyDeleteHe's been keeping my hubby and I on our toes since the day he was born. We're lucky though, he's a great kid.
