The Benefits of Being a Twelve Year Old

[pheasantchick]

Overheard this on a kids television programme yesterday and thought I'd share it, especially as I know there are so many year 7 parents around.

They said that the benefits of being a 12 year old was that, if you wanted you could still act like a nine year old, and play with younger toys, but at the same time you were beginning to creep into young adulthood, and could be treated as such, so could benefit from older privileges as well.

I apologise , my tenses seem all over the place in the above paragraph.

My 19 and 20 year old fit into that category!

You beat me to it - was about to say the same about my 18-year old!

That could also apply to DH at times!

[heartmum]

That's my 12 yr old's excuse

That could also apply to DH at times!

And me!

I'm still waiting for my DH to "Creep into adulthood"

(I can only say that because I know he doesn't come on here!)

I suppose it depends on the particular company they are in I've just spent the day apologising every 2 minutes for my supposedly mature 12 year old..whizzing about like an idiot with the shopping trolley , jumping in a thomas the tank engine and rolling about on the floor at my parents.

The only thing mature about him is his fluffy moustache .

The only adult thing about my teenage DS is the way he is coping with the man flu he has at the moment
