    Tendrils - Me! I grew up outside of Chicago, IL but now reside outside of Minneapolis, MN. (No, I don't like the cold! and GO BEARS and CUBBIES!) I've been called many names in my life.... many of them derivatives of my given name. My son calls me Momma. My husband calls me Honey. My students call me Teacher. My family calls me lots of things...... ;) However, here, you may call me Tendrils.

    Hubby - My loving husband of 5 years.

    Punky - Our 3 year old son who is growing like a weed!

Toddler=Teenager?

Posted on February 25, 2008 by tendrils

I’m really beginning to see the a couple of correlations between life at home with Punky and life at school with my 8th grade students.

Scenario #1

This morning (as I walked into his room…):

Me (cheerfully): “Good Morning!”

Punky (in a gravelly pterodactyl-like voice): “GO AWAY!”

Scenario #2

This morning: after we got dressed and packed up for the day…

Me: “Let’s go, buddy….We have to get to Kelly’s…”

Punky: “You no tell me what to do!”

I guess he is really lucky that he is cute. Man, how I love the terrible twos! :)

    I watch Live with Regis and Kelly on occasion. Kelly Ripa was once talking about the “terrible twos and the god-awful threes.” :-)

    I have believed this for ages! Toddler boys=teenaged girls. I saw it every.single.day when I taught flute lessons. I’d deal with my cherubs all morning and afternoon, then toddle off to deal with the same emotional crap from a hormonal girl. One of my few reasons why I no longer teach lessons.
