Slang

Has anyone ever noticed that the way you talk at home is super different from the way you talk with your friends?


Don't believe me?


How much young adult slang do you use at home?


Do you use foul language?


Do you use meaningless exclamations at the top of your lungs?


How about teasing? Do you do it differently with your siblings?


Why do you think we do that?


I'll tell you why.



It's because we hear our parents voices in our ears subconsciously saying things like

'Drop your nonsense outside the door' or 'Don't bring that rubbish into my house!'

  HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!! To all the wonderful mother's out there, we can't say how much we appreciate and love you! We love you moms! I love you mom!

The Copy Machine

  A big thank you to the lady who told me this story. She gave me a new view on babies thanks to an intriguing conversation. My little brother reached the stage that he copied everything that everyone said. As a result we were really, really, really careful. We once said poop in his presence and that comprised the majority of his vocabulary for one week! Back to the story. My mom always carried my brother with her to greet my dad whenever he came home from work. She always said "Welcome home honey" One day, as my dad came home, my brother broke free from my sister and I and ran up to our dad yelling "Honey! Honey! Honey!" at the top of his lungs. We were shocked. My mom was worried. My dad look faintly disturbed. How were we going to wean him off this?

The Sleepover Story

  'Mom, dad, can I sleepover at my friend's house next week?' 'Sleep-what? You can be with them all day, why do you need to sleep in their house? Why can't they come here?...' A lot more questions follow that. From the experience of teens, more often than not, parents believe that you should play out all day and come back to your house to sleep. It's not a bad philosophy.  You don't really lose out of not sleeping over at your friend's house. A huge pro is, when you are older, hopefully, you'll sleep in your own house most of the time, which is a great way to remain safe.
