Please tell me it gets better

Yesterday at the request of Boy I mixed up some pancakes. I ran the first couple batches through and he wanted to help. I told him to go ahead and take those out of the pan and load it back up.

that is when it happened. Goober reached over and grabbed the ladle out of the big stainless steel bowl sitting 2 feet away and dipped......then dripped batter the entire 2 feet to the pan......repeat 2 more times.

It was then I pointed out the stainless bowl had this really cool attachment called a FRIGGIN HANDLE and you can pick the bowl up and hold it over the pan while dipping out batter so you do not leave a 2 foot trail of spillage. :banghead:

Please, please tell me it will get better and it is not permanent.

Kids do not start using common sense until their brain begins to fuse into maturity, typically around age 17 or 18. It's a long process, and isn't complete until they are well into physical adulthood.

Sometimes fusion never happens, and they become these durhard adults who continue to do dumb things until they fall to their death while chasing a feather along a cliff. Or get taken out by shrapnel while shooting dynamite.

There's really nothing you can do to speed the fusion process. Just make him wear a helmet when he goes outside.

It's just the brain damage that kids get when they're that age. He'll get over it. Just don't let him turn into a liberal. The brain damage will then be permanent. :lol:

Maybe this is linked to the same gene that makes kids want to cut their hair. The back of my stepson's head looks like a golfcourse after his attempt last night. Attempt to "fix it" happens at 5:30 tonight!

At his age I think it's VERY cool that he wants to help...

Be thankful he still wants to participate, and wants to help out his old man. Someday you'll miss those messes.

This is not true. I was not an empty-nester and am thrilled that my kids are grown and messing up their own homes now.

When my son gets his own place I'm going over there and showering the kitchen counters and floors with shredded cheese. :cds:

I always said I'd bring my friends over to stomp ketchup packets on my son's basement stairs so the contents shoot all over the walls (true incident). :lol:

What about the plastic pouch inside the cereal box? I swear mine hacks it open with a dull rusty machete making it completely impossible to reseal or to pour the contents into a bowl without showering the kitchen floor with Frosted Flakes.
