The boy has missed his shopping trip with nana and papa for a couple weeks because of work, so they decided to grab him after he got off this afternoon for dinner. About an hour after they left, this happened via text:

From Boy: HELP ME!
Me: hahahahahha.
Boy: grrr.
Me: You’ll survive.
Boy: Nooooooooo!!

From Papa’s Phone: The Boy is being mean to us!

At which time I started laughing hysterically, because it amused me so.

Then my phone rings, call from Boy - I let it go to voice mail, because I was call him at the same time - voice mail is: “She put me on hold. ON HOLD!” with Nana and Papa laughing in the background “I’m gonna get you when I get home…”

Then I call them back.

Nana: The Boy’s being mean!
Me: You know, if you three can’t behave, I’m going to have to go along and chaperone the next time…
Nana: Tell the boy!
Me: (Repeats.)
Boy: Aw HELL no….
Nana: GASP! That’s the SECOND time he’s cursed in front of me. Bring the soap!

Then, when he got home (ice cream and cookies in tow! Yum!)(Yes, I know that I said I don’t have a sweet tooth, but these are double stuffed oreos with PEANUT BUTTER. Which is totally different. They’re not sweet. Nope.) he tells me this:

Nana can be DIRTY mom! See, I stole papa’s magnifying glass, and he said that’s how we make Nana’s boobs bigger, and then Nana stole it and put it at his GROIN and said “A girl can dream” and did I mention this was in the CHECKOUT LINE AT THE STORE and the workers were all laughing and OMG MOM!

Apparently he expects such comments from Papa, but Nana fighting back is mortifying. *snicker* I offered to go along and chaperone again and he said no way - because Nana and I and Papa together would be SURE to embarrass him! HAHAH!

Don’t you wish you had MY family?! You know you do. It’s ok to be jealous. *grin*

I don’t like it when one of my boys is hurting. Z (on of the Boy’s bff) is heartbroken today, and all I can do is hug him.

Girls are mean.

Sigh.

(and yes, I’m fully aware this entry will be repeated a thousand times, from both sides of the equation as the kids grow up. It won’t ever get any easier though.)

…that I only pick on the girls with the camera - he’s proof that I ATTEMPT to embarrass the boy and his friends as well. They’re just… faster.

See, The Boy - he got his bestest buddy (one of them) a job with him at McD’s. They’ve been working the same shift this week, so after school they come here, get dressed, then it’s off to work with the both of them. (Aw! MAH BOYS!)

So. Since I was picking on the girl with the camera, I tried to catch the boys. G just shook his head, while The Boy ducked. And then they ran. HARUMPH.

So, my lil blog crush, Adri, he’s in the process of writing a story that involves a 13 year old girl and all the Angst that comes with it. I offered to send my thirteen year old to him so he’d have first hand experience with the Angst, but he paled and declined the offer. (read: ran away screaming!) Dammit.

So anyway, after The Girl returned from school today, high on sugar and accomplishment (in the Standardized Testing for the state - she received her scores today: Reading 75% over ‘norm’, Writing 15% over ‘norm’ and Math? 100% over norm! Mah Blond Baby is SMART!) - and took pictures. Lots of pictures. Until she wouldn’t let me anymore. (That’d be 11 pictures till she ran and hid. Giving me an easy dozen would have been… well, easy!)

SO! I give you the Many Faces of Mairiah.
I know. You’re so excited. I can feel it!

I know, I keep saying that, but they are! Maybe it’s just MY teenagers…

Me: What’s that in your back pocket?
Boy: my wallet.
Me: the OTHER pocket.
Boy: A love letter.
Me: YAY! FROM WHO?
Boy: Not telling.
Me: From G? (That’d be his best bud, a boy, of course.)
Boy: No.
Me: From Z? (The other best bud, a boy, of course.)
G: That I’d believe!
Boy: NO!
Me: FROM WHO?
Boy: SECRET ADMIRER!
Me: But you tell me EVERYTHING!
G: not anymore.
Me: But I’m your best friend, Boy!
G: Excuse me?
Me: Your best GIRL friend!
G: NOT ANYMORE!
Me: *Sulk*
Boy: I win!

He then tossed the paper at me. It’s a study guide for an upcoming test in power mechanics. *L* See? Don’t YOU wish you had (my) teenagers?!
