Has anyone seen those twins I used to refer to as Rocket Boy and Channel Chick? They used to look like this when they were young and sweet, anyone seen them?

Hmmm, I wonder where they are?

If this is puberty, I don’t like it! Suddenly kids morph into unrecognizable creatures, who can’t hear anything but the ice cream truck, yea they’re not too old for that! I’m amazed at how rapidly their hearing has decreased lately, and to think that I was the one going to all of those 70’s concerts, I should be the one who can’t hear!

It’s amazing how long they can hold out before responding, and usually with a sharp-tongued answer. How long does this last?  When will they return to their former personalities? When I grew up in the sixties, I recall that we had respect for our parents, and our ears were open to nearly all that our parents had to say.

But now kids can hide behind headphones, iPods, computers, anything to block out parents.

If anyone happens to stumble across these two, could you please return them to me? Preferably with their hearing in tact and functioning. Thanks!

  1. They will come back down to earth when they reach their 20’s or shortly after. My oldest daughter was sassy and sometimes rude and a lot of times high maintenance. But now at 24 she is the most gracious, kind, mature, women I have met in a long time. I don’t know why we have to go through all the crap of teenage years. I blame Eve.
