What is a Teenager?

By Bill AdlerA Teenager is…A person who can’t remember to walk the dog but never forgets a phone number..A weight watcher who goes on a diet by giving up candy bars before breakfast..A youngster who receives his/her allowance on Monday, spends it on Tuesday, and borrows from his/her best friend on Wednesday.Someone who can hear a song by Madonna played three blocks away but not his mother calling from the next room.A whiz who can operate the latest computer without a lesson but can’t make a bed.A student who will spend 12 minutes studying for her history exam and 12 hours for her driver’s license.A youngster who is well informed about anything he doesn’t have to study.An enthusiast who has the energy to ride a bike for miles, but is usually too tired to dry the dishes.A connoisseur of two kinds of fine music: Loud and Very Loud.A young woman who loves the cat and tolerates her brother.A person who is always late for dinner but always on time for a Michael Jackson concert.A romantic who never falls in love more than once a week.A budding beauty who never smiles until her braces come off.A boy who can sleep until noon on any Saturday when he suspects the lawn needs mowing.An original thinker who is positive that her mother was never a teenager.
