THE PARENT'S DICTIONAIRY
(A reference for the rest of us...)
Ever feel like your parent's don't undestand you? Don't worry, they don't! That's because parents have their very own language which most of us normal human kids aren't familiar with. I tried to de-code some of the words and sentences most often used by parents. It's been tough, but I've got the basics done and I wrote them down for everyone to read. Now when your parents want you to take out the trash, or if they constantly utter the word "maybe" you'll understand them... and they might just start to understand you too. If you have anything that you'd like to add to this dictionairy, please feel free to e-mail me your suggestions. And that way, everyone can be a bit more understanding...
Ask your other parent: I'm too lazy right now
Go to your room: it's the only way I could quiet you down
Heart-to-heart: a long lecture
I promise: just be quiet already
I'll think about it: no
Later: never
Leave me alone: DANGER: I'M GOING TO EXPLODE
Maybe: no
Neat-o: parent's word for cool
Only on one condition: forget it
Soon: in a couple of months
Take out the trash: I'm not touching that, but I can order you to
That's it: pow
We'll go next week: forget about it
We'll see: no
You're grounded: face it, I always get the last word
You can borrow the car keys: yeah, right. like a parent's ever gonna say that
