It's good to mess with teenagers' heads. :-)

I knew there was something I liked about you. :)

Then you'll love this! I'm still unpacking boxes after moving into the new
house. After box # 8,219, I don't care how much I rearrange closets,
etc.It's all a blur. So: There are two identical cabinets in the kitchen (as
opposed to the corner types, which are unique). Yesterday, one cabinet had
glasses, mugs & plates. The other had boxes of dry goods like cereal, rice,
flour, granola bars, etc. Before my son got home from school, I switched the
contents of the cabinets. When he headed for the kitchen for his 8:30 PM
snack ritual, I was in the living room, trying to contain my laughter while
he opened multiple cabinets and muttered to himself. Wednesday night, I'll
do it again. I figure it'll work about 10 times before he focuses enough to
yell. Only a live George Carlin show is better than this.

It's informal research of a sort, after reading a Time magazine article
about the teen brain. Among other things, it said teens have practically NO
sense of continuity, which explains why a kid with a 3.9 GPA can't find his
shoes (or the cereal). :-)

LOL!!!

I just showed this to my wife and the first thing she said "Why didn't
we think of that?"

I went through this with four kids - two girls and two boys.

Actually, I miss those days. :)

Later,

Heh...

When we moved the stepson unloaded a lot of the boxes - most were labled by
room.

Then he says.... "The last one had no label - but it had a number 69 on
it, so I put it in the bedroom."

How old is the stepson? That's hilarious!
