Jennifer wants a car, and she wants it now.
When I gently remind her that she will get a car, and probably grandma's car this month (we've agreed to buy her 1999 accord for $3500) she then sulked about the color. Yes, you'll get it painted, but only after we have a look at the breaks.
And frankly, once she gets a job...she can paint it any color she wants once she gets the money in the bank.
"What, you mean you're not paying for it," she said, truly amazed. Yes, darling, welcome to almost adulthood.
This blog will cover the collision of two cultures - parents and teen children. They don't understand us, and view us as spoilers or walking ATMs (adults with teen malcontents?) We are left wondering what happened to our cute cuddly kids of a few years back, and when they may return. If ever.

J's 17th today
She's watching Dukes of Hazard of all things, while eating her favorite pancakes that dad made for this big day.
Tonight, it's off to dinner with friends and then bowling. Dad and I are chauffeurs I guess.
Where did all the 17 years go? I'll be posting the final post in this blog tomorrow, as my alien nation girl, isn't so alien anymore.
