Michael has taken to calling us "mom" and "dad." Gone are Mommy and Daddy. And he is 3 and a half.
He says "okay Mom" "sorry Mom" and "oh man" with such disdain and eye rolling I can imagine him going up to his room, slamming his door, playing some very loud grunge music, and smoking pot.

Hey Jodi, it was great meeting you too. Maybe our teenagers could compare zits together sometime or listen to some loud music.
Our Jolie has become fond of saying “ja” as in “Scared ja!” We are scared, indeed.

Too funny. Our 3 year old daughter does that a lot…more with “mom” than with “daddy”. Her new thing is to come into the room and declare, “I’m ready for bed. Come on,Sarah.” (calling me by my first name)

Sunny told me the other day “Moooom, you are RUINING my LIFE!” complete with raised pitch shriek on LIFE. Who told her she could turn 13 – she’s 4! I’m sure she would have slammed a door if she could. Between that and the 8 year old going on 17, if I get through their teenage years without having a nervous breakdown or becoming an alcoholic and everybody’s alive at the end, I’ll consider it successful.
And our poor kids – their dad and I did everything so they won’t be able to get away with anything. My MIL is much chagrined to recently learn just how bad we were. She was all upset upon learning about DH leaving some sort of church retreat to go buy fake IDs in NYC. I said “Does it really matter now?” Of course it does, 24 years later.
