Twilight Zone. I am not changing it. Too lazy.

HEY! I thought my original post title had the word "All" in it too! What happened. I stand by the addition of the word ALL to my title. This is becoming way more fun than I could have ever imagined.

She'll think they're twins.

Bless her heart!

If I edited it was a spelling error. I think it's funny that this post is being dissected so diligently. ETA- attention here, an edit!! I'm not sure I said my dds were perfect, just extremely low drama.

You are very gracious. Obviously my style pushes buttons. I don't care. The oldies here who know me, know me.

You beat me to it!

I would say that obviously this is not the first one I've run into like this. The teen girls I know that have any manners and sense are in a vast minority. Exaggeration to make a point. Called hyperbole. Curiosity satisfied? EDIT to add- wouldn't you say that she did get the desperately needed reality check? I certainly thought so.

Well, from flirting shamelessly with my married sons, trying to run off my grandchildren so I could be at her disposal, asking how much land and cattle we owned, wondering if our house was haunted, endless cuts about small towns, snapping at my niece over what she was going to eat and where she was going to sleep, the bedroom questions really were the last straw for me.

Every once in a while dh gets tired and complains he's going to sell the ranch. My feeling is "well, call a lawyer and have fun when you move." I'd hate to leave the ranch, I can't imagine that dh even thinks about it, he grew up here. We are in our 60s, I'd like to die here. We live in a house that's way too big for us but I don't care. Gives me plenty of room for company.

When I had my shoulder surgery a checker at Walmart would sometimes help me out. She was young and on the way to the parking lot gave me intimate details of tea sessions with her dh. I was horrified and finally said "Honey, you need to stop talking right now." I avoid her lane at all costs now.

And yes, I'm fully aware my girls are not the norm. They're pretty close to perfect. The boys aren't bad either. I've been tremendously blessed in the kid/kid in law department. Perhaps that's why I have issues with rudeness, impertinence and condescending teens.

I tried that approach.

She was getting into bedroom issues.

This exactly. I'd had enough rude behavior at that point.

No, I won't get into the questions she asked. Deeply personal and completely out of line. My niece seemed very embarrassed by her behavior. She got plenty of grace from me and just kept it up. As for hating her, who said anything about hating her? I did answer her questions all day yesterday and last night. Just not this afternoon. I am not on the Dr. Phil show. And if all the adults in her life think she's cute perhaps it's not such a bad thing that she was called on her behavior.

My girls went from small adults to big adults. There was no "teenage" crap involved. Minimal and I mean very minimal drama, then they were grown and that was it. My niece. 17, was here with a friend of hers, 18 for 24 hours of trail riding. The friend is an idiot. Just an idiot. She had a bunch of stupid questions about our small town lifestyle that I just ignored, figured it was just "I'm a city girl, aren't I cute knowing nothing about small towns??" Then at lunch she started asking me and dh all sorts of impertinent questions about being married. I finally said "This is none of your business. You really ought to think about what you say before it comes pouring out of your mouth. Count to ten before you start to talk." Mind you, I met this girl yesterday. WTH?? She looked at me like I was a unicorn. I think maybe equal parts of stupid and "I'm cute" syndrome. She's lucky I held back, I'd been biting my lip all day yesterday.

Merciful heavens, don't ever blow off rabies/bats.

I didn't know that! I thought I had a hen that definitely said no. She's a fast runner!

LOL, that's not confrontational in my book either. Hitting him on the back of the head with an iron skillet for being a butt...that's confrontational.

I didn't have one but our neighbor found my three yr old sister sitting in his bathroom. When he stepped out of the shower! I bet you're worn out.

That is fabulous news! No wonder you're proud!

My little sister complaining about our mom's quirks. They are exactly. the. same.

I think if you are worried about her seeing it then that is answer enough.

Our five- #1- lessons for eight years, dropped it, never touched a piano again. Boy. #2- Insisted on lessons when she was four, outgrew her teachers quickly, added organ lessons and now plays the pipe organ at our church. #4&5- the boys- (twins in a set of trips) started around eight because mil insisted. I said "sure, you pay for it and you take them back and forth." Lasted about a year with teacher complaining to mil that they never practiced. I let it run it's course. Both the boys are very talented guitar players now, they taught theselves. Never saw them at the piano again. #3- the girl part of the triplet group. She wanted to quit when her litter mates did and I said no. Forced her through, found a teacher she loved and when he died (in a car wreck on the way to our house. so sad) she eventually started playing by ear, and is fabulous now. So, all that to say depends on the child.
