Teenage Humor

I just returned from the mall after school shopping with my soon-to-be sophomore and her friend. I now understand why fathers opt to go camping, roll around in elk urine, and shit in a hole rather than go to the mall three days before school starts. As if the crowds weren’t bad enough, my girl decided to wear a flannel that hung lower than her shorts, making it appear that she was walking around naked from the waist down. She was flocked by sales people, who, I am sure, were calculating their commissions in their heads. I mean, why not?

He s all grown up now, so he is, and nearly shaving. The Bee Gees fill the airwaves, everyone is in love with Princess Leia, and Breadboy s love of peace and pets is soon rivalled by his interest in parallel universes and punk...and girls, especially Judy Carlton who sits opposite him in chemistry.

This stage of motherhood is not for the fainthearted. These are the loneliest of maternal times filled with pockets of shame you cannot share with anyone. You’re going to need help getting through this.

Rael wakes to find herself at an unexpected crossroads in her young life. She has come on vacation to Europe in hopes of forgetting about the past, including failing at the most critical thing in her life: skiing.

Still, Rael is pretty sure training for six years and losing her big race by a tenth of a second is the lowest possible point her life can reach. Well, she was sure of that—until she wakes up in a stone room, alone, bound by rope, and in the care of a vampire. A situation ...
