It feels strange. Very strange.
Nearly as strange as when I first realized that I had a son who was a teenager.
Somewhat less alarming as when I first realized that I hat three sons who were teenagers.
It's exactly a month before my younger brother's 20th birthday, leaving our family without ANY teenagers. I try to make up for it by acting like a whiny, petulant 15-year-old most of the time, but it just isn't the same.
Don't run yourself down so. You're whiny enough for any two or three normal teenagers (and I mean teenage girls, too).
