The Car Conversation and Excellent Hearing

 I recall a time we wanted to go Christmas shopping when I was younger. We all piled into the car and started to drive to all our favourite places to buy toys. 


As we approached our favourite place to shop, we saw that the lights were out in the shop and wondered why. My parents spoke to one another in low tones before taking us to a new store to buy our toys. 


My brothers didn't know what happened but I did.

Apparently, a flood had affected the area and the shop was closed for repairs.


How did I hear that when they spoke in low tones?


I'm sure you know the answer to that question. The super hearing all teens seem to have developed by the time they are twelve for whatever reason.


What have you used your super hearing to do recently?

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.
