| Why are parents so out of touch with reality? THE PROBLEM: Now, I know you know exactly what I am referring to. My parents constantly try to convince me that I'm the crazy one because my body is raging with teenage hormones. As if! I finished puberty before half of my classmates began it. I am not raging with hormones, I am just fine. These adults living in my house however are insidiously insane...try telling them that and it'll be bye bye for me. THE SPELL: So instead of saying directly to your parents that they are insane, I would suggest that you drop little hints! Catch your parents throwing a ugly hissy fit and repeat to them what they have just said to you. While you do this, pretend you are just trying to understand their side of the arguement. The reason that this work 9 times out of 10 is because you look like the grown up and they look like the kid. However don't expect them to get quiet. The way you know your spell has worked is by the volume that their voices reach. The higher the voice, the more succesful the spell! Warning: This is not a surefires method for dealing with parents and it may indeed fail if your parents have previously perfected this technique. |
