“I’m bored to death!”
I didn’t respond. I’d heard my daughter like this, before.
“I’m coloring my hair and nails blacker than black!”
Good, I thought, she needed a new kind of tension.

This is a 33 word Trifextra piece for their weekend challenge of including a hyperbole inside your entry. I took the last line from one of my favorite songs, the most underrated song ever in the universe, from Cracker. If you don’t like this song, we can’t be friends and you probably should just die.
see what I did there?
Here’s Cracker’s Teen Angst. Turn it up so loud your head explodes.
Perfect!
you know it well
Love it! I was that teenage girl, once upon a time…
mine is 17…she threatens more than does…so far
I totally understand.
i’m glad you do. thanks a
Is it the sexes? Or the personality?
What a question to ponder.
xo You’re handling it all so well.
I was just like my teenage daughter, too. It’s the age – 17, and the emo. thank you
Almost had a heart attack as had the volume up when I hit play! Probably the same as having my head blown exploding. Ahh teens…god luv ‘em. Well done Lance.
good, then this post work…thank you
Nice work. Got it in one.
one works….thank you
All statements punctuated by expressive eye rolling and heavy sighing? Been there.
I imagine her shouting this from the doorway of her bedroom before slamming it shut (:
actually, she said this to me sitting about 5 feet away while I was writing….true story
So I guess the shaving of one side of your long-haired head has not caught on over there? I feel your pain like it was my own. Oh wait, It is. lol
my daughter only colors her hair. She’s too cheerleaderish to cut it. she threatens a lot.
I’ll never be able to find a speaker loud enough to give this song it’s due.
same deal, dude
Ahh, this brings back fond memories, where fond, in this case, means that, over time, I’ve glazed over reality! Nice one.
glazed over reality ….i may title my memoirs that
Blacker than Black… that’s a good one. My daughters have to worry about the teenagers now.
I am laughing with you, not at you. Really. Great job!
i’m used to it…thank you
I’ve been hearing that bored comment since Blossom was eight. I’m gonna have a lot more time with that expression.
oh, I already hear it from my 8 and 9 year olds
What’s that song by The Carpenters…Oh, I remember…”It’s Only Just Begun”.
Well written & so true-I have a 17 yr old too(just celebrated her B’day on 15th)-so I know;-)
then my heart is with you
Yeah. I know this.
virtual hugs, then
Cracker ROCKS and so do you, Lance… well done, dude!
thank you so much
So glad I glad only the one. And as she’s 30 now, the pain is fading.
good news and thanks you
