I'm wrong. You're right.

Always.

I don't know how to spell or read. I don't know how to add or subtract. Sometimes I wonder how you think I make it from here to there during the day.

My life in the eyes of a 12 year old. I'm not the first mom to feel this way and I'm not the last one either. When you're 12....you know everything...right? NOT!

I DO know how to spell and read...rather efficiently, too. I also know how to add, subtract, multiply, AND even divide....I use those skills everyday. There are lots of other things that I know how to do too...and I do them well, but they're not interesting things to a 12 year old.

Some of the things that I CAN'T do....I can't play basketball, nor do I want to. I can't ride a wheelie on a bicycle...don't want to do that either though. The difference is, those are examples of things that I don't HAVE to know how to do. The other things....ya gotta know how to do. It's the facts. I'm sorry that when you're 12 you don't want to read or spell or add or subtract. But you have to.

OK...rant for the day is over. Have a lovely evening.
