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, & borrows it from
her best friend on Wednesday; someone who can hear her favorite
singer three blocks away, but not her 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 twelve minutes studying
history & twelve hours studying for her driver's license; an
enthusiast who has the energy to bike four miles, but is usually
too tired to dry the dishes; a young woman who loves the cat &
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.
