A 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 her allowance on Monday, spends it on Tuesday, and borrows it from her best friend on Wednesday.

~Someone who can hear his favorite singer 3 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 spends 12 minutes studying history and 12 hours studying for her driver's license.

~A connoisseur of 2 kinds of fine music - loud and very loud.

~An enthusiast who has the energy to bike for miles, but is usually too tired to dry the dishes.

~A young woman who loves the cat and tolerates the brother.

~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 till noon on any Saturday he suspects the lawn needs mowing.

~An original thinker who is positive that her mother was never a teenager.
