awkward teen tuesday

a few tidbits of over-heard conversations in the teen center recently with my personal commentary included in italics

"where's alaska?"
seriously? i know all you teens are geographically challenged, but alaska is part of OUR COUNTRY! also, it's a big state. it's not like when i mix up vermont and new hampshire, which are small and kind of look alike.
"i'm like the girl napoleon dynamite...i mean bonaparte"
i'm sorry to have to tell you this sweetie, but neither of those options is especially complimentary
"people eat my hair on a daily basis"
WHAT!?? EWWW!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!!?
"please don't draw on my butt"
 i appreciate the fact that you have used your manners here, but i feel like you should be a little more upset in this circumstance
"i almost choked on my hair"
what, did you have a fur-ball caught in your throat? how does that even happen?

and a few from me because i can't let these poor teenagers be the only awkward peeps in the room, that would just be sad

"if this were real life..."
i hate to break it to you self, but this is real life. i know, i was shocked too
"i'm dating your best friend. no i'm not. that would be weird."
you know what's weird? the fact that these words passed your lips in a room full of minors. engage brain, then speak!
