Today our daughter is going to Navy Pier on a class field trip and my husband was giving her the silly "Make sure you don't talk to strangers" pep talk. Maddy and I were listening to him with smiles as was sure she was thinking "duh, I know this." When he was finished he asked he if she needed to learn jiujitsu so that she can defend herself from evil (in a joking manner of course) and she responds with "No, but I need money." Gotta love a teenager with sassy comebacks.

I love that your husband still gives this pep talk before she goes anywhere. My dad used to do the same, and although you roll your eyes as a kid, it shows how much you mean to your parents. Very heartwarming!
ReplyDeleteThis kinda sounds like me, I tell my 15 year old the same things. Then she will ask for money, maybe I am softer than mom. Mom usually tells her it is a school trip and she doesn't need any as I slip her a few bills.
ReplyDeleteSo sassy! Some day she will appreciate those pep talks more than she does now.
ReplyDeleteHeeheehee! Great sense of humor. Love that she knows exactly how seriously to take her dad's comments. Hope she enjoyed the outing.
ReplyDeleteHope the outing was fun, and she definitely survived the pep talk just fine! I love her quick comeback.
