Y'know, my daughter keeps doing things like this, sending an instant message to Margie and me:
"Be very careful if you are going to be driving anywhere today. The bus is having trouble braking. It's almost as if there is a layer of ice underneath the snow. We are on the main road and it is better, but still be careful please."
I mean, I thought 15-going-on-16 was supposed to be well into the depths of the "sullen teen angsty rebellious combative teenager" phase. If she insists on giving hugs, clearing the table, and warning us about icy conditions on the road, she's going to completely miss out on all the drama.

I was similar when I was a teen. I had the angst but I kept it to myself.
I did have a rebellious streak but it was after I was 18 and consisted of, "They didn't let me do X whenever I wanted but now I can because I'm in college and all grown up. Neener, neener, neener."
Then I realized doing X all the time wasn't that great and got over it.
+Nick McIntosh "Then I realized doing X all the time wasn't that great and got over it." — That's probably a great way of describing "growing up." 🙂
No, I have no doubt that my daughter has her moments of angst and flares of rebellion, but things like the above are much more visible to date (and, amused tone aside, we're more than happy that's the case).
That is awesome. You're funny!
…that child is a teenager? blink I missed some years…!
I had it easy until mine turned 18 but by 19 they realized they still like moms help now and then.
