My teenage boys are jokers. If you follow my blog, you already know this. Having a serious conversation with then is next to impossible. There are times, it makes me want to rip my hair out.. but I have to admit that my boys are two of the funniest kids I have ever met. They make me laugh every single day. Yes.. sometimes it annoys me.. yes… sometimes I get pissed.. but mostly.. I just laugh with them.

(Sitting at the breakfast table with my oldest son, Derek, who is 17.)

Me: “What are your plans for the day, honey?”

Derek: “I was thinking it would be lovely to smoke some crack and knock up a hot chick.”

Me: “DEREK! LOL.. STOP THAT!.. BE SERIOUS FOR ONE SECOND!”

Derek: “Don’t worry, Mom. We’ll go on welfare and I’ll get a job at Taco Bell. Everything will be fine.”

Me: “LOL.. can we ever have a normal conversation that doesn’t involve smoking crack?”

Derek: “I know you worry about my education

but I’ll get a GED.. it’ll be fine, Mom. I want to make you proud. I really do!”

Me: “Tears rolling down my face! STOP IT! THAT’S NOT FUNNY.. OK.. It is funny.. but stop it.”

LATER THAT SAME DAY!

(Taking Drew to a football game.)

Me: “I need you boys to start thinking about what you might want for Christmas and give me some ideas.. ok?”

Drew: “Oh.. I already know what I want for Christmas!”

Me: (Looking at him curiously because he never knows what he wants for Christmas.)

Drew: “I want a case of PBR and a stripper”

Me: LOL “Perfect, I’ll toss a bag of weed and some Dorito’s in your stocking and we’ll call it a theme Christmas.”

Drew: “You’re the best Mom ever! I can’t wait to tell my teachers your getting me beer, naked chicks and pot for Christmas!”

Me: “DREW.. THAT’S NOT FUNNY!”

Drew: “Oh yes it is Mom..yes it is!”

Me: “Seriously.. if you say that at school … even jokingly.. a teacher might take it seriously and you could end up in a foster home.”

Drew: “Maybe they’ll have a hot daughter.”

Me: “You boys are going to be the death of me.”

Drew: “We keep trying.. you just won’t die.”

(LAUGHTER.. TEARS.. LAUGHTER.)

Drew: You know we love you, Mom… you’re just fun to pick on.

:) *sigh*

I love my boys!
