Love That Boy.

As TD and I were watching Notorious the other day this was our oral exchange.
TD: Who is this about?
Yo: Notorious BIG. The rapper.
TD: Is he dead?
Yo: Very much so.
TD: I only know that from South Park.
I think 10 more of my hairs turned gray. He was only 3 when Biggie was shot.
It’s getting OLD in [...]
Monkey See, Monkey Don’t.

Is it written in the handbook of teenage law that THOU SHALT DO THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT THOUS PARENTS COMMAND, EVEN IF IT KILLS THOU?
TD and I have been running around 4 – 5 miles weekly – after deciding to do a marathon together this summer (he’ll do 1/2, I’ll do the whole enchilada). [...]
Monkey See, Monkey Do.

It can be funny when kids imitate your behavior. When I taught kindergarten in Saipan, for example. I’d turn off the light for silence (because I saw it on TV, and we all know that makes it a *GREAT* idea!), and from then on, whenever one of them thought it too loud or too chaotic [...]
The Quest for the 7:59 Mile.
Posted by: missconstrued on: September 30, 2008
Today’s run was fueled by the A word: ANGER.
Needless to say, because I didn’t pace myself, I didn’t make the 7:59 mile, but I tried darn hard, feet pounding against the pavement, furiously.
The other day, tis put up a post on myspace (I know, I know, I’m a glutton for punishment) it said, “Hi! I [...]
Life with Teen: #244219

When Janis Joplin sang, “O Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz?” I think she had teenagers. Or knew them, anyway. Was in close, personal contact with.
I’m not saying God or the almighty should buy me a car, but SOME kind of compensation for this roller coaster of emotional hellaciousness general teenagery would me [...]
Closing Time.
Posted by: missconstrued on: July 29, 2008
Dh called me from Seattle last night. He’s finally in the States, which means that my time here is coming to a rapid end. Rapido! Rapido!
Damn the airlines and their luggage restrictions, is about all I’m thinking right now. Higher prices in the name of gas? It just seems ridiculous, the costs of things these days, [...]
Teenagers: #42534 – Smoking
Posted by: missconstrued on: July 28, 2008
I should just start numbering these now, for when I have to hand them in to the doctor because I have GONE INSANE.
I wrote to TIS, thought I would show him that I am still interested in him – because I think it is important. Seeing as how I will be spending some time with [...]
I *LOVE* teenagers (insert fake smile here).
Posted by: missconstrued on: July 7, 2008
I guess I took the politeness of teenagers for granted, living on Kwaj. You know, because they know me and know that I will inevitably know their parents at one time or another, they are polite. Respectful. I am polite and respectful in return. We all get along swimmingly.
The teenagers who do not feel they [...]

I got another early morning phone call last night. This time from dh.
Ex-y just called, in tears. TIS’ friends were holding him down after she called 911 on him.
He had cut his wrists with wire (?) and put out cigarettes in his hands, saying the whole time that he wanted/needed is Adderall. When she tried [...]
