Training The Teen
This afternoon, Kevin came downstairs wearing two polo-style shirts. Layered.
Both collars were popped.
After teasing him and saying some mean things that I won't include here, he decided to change his shirt.
As a parent, I know that I need to hit the offensive behaviors with brutal consistency and sarcasm. If not, he will soon be wearing a t-shirt that says something like "you've been a naughty girl - go to my room."
Parenting can be a rough job.

Without proactive parenting practices like yours, I agree... Kevin would definitely become the owner of t-shirts such as "Smile, it's the second best thing you can do with your lips", and "Wish you were beer."

Also, t-shirts saying, "Beer: helping ugly people have sex since 1892". Its true, but not cool. Way to lay the smack down, true sign of good parenting: Eliminating the Douchey-ness from your children... PS: did you know there was such a thing as Jerry Spring The Musical? Can you play THAT on the piano?? that would be awesome!!

Nice work. You've got to nip that stuff in the bud.

Also, if you find in his possession a part or more of aviator glasses, break them -right then- and say he'll thank you later.

As if one wasn't enough...he had to wear two, holy crap! Take charge and show who's boss.
