Parents...

How many times have people heard this phrase?
"I hate my parents." In my case however, it would be entirely false to say such a thing. Sure they think I'm insane, I say I'm only insane if you can't see my level...which they don't. The things they don't notice about me, are usualy the things I normally do for that exact reason. But, the thing with today's parents is that they're still stuck in yesterday. They are jammin out to Frank Sinatra and Cher, when we're jammin' out to Rhianna and Panic at the Disco. We all must remember that they just don't understand any more. My parents are nurses and because of that don't go for anything....at all. In fact we get along just fine...excluding the part where they tease me about everything. Though, I don't see where my dad has any room to talk we are both probably the nerdiest people on Earth. We could just play video games and watch Star Trek all day....not even joking. He makes fun of me so often I think he doesn't even realize how alike we are and that he's practicaly making fun of himself.
Perhaps the reason many teens hate their parents, is because they do enough family things together. Every Monday, we all watch 'House M.d' and 'Heroes' together. We all get a good deal of entertainment out of the shows. Sure it's only one day out of the week but it sure makes a big difference and through out the week we eat dinner together every night. Even though we are only spending 2-3 hours together every day just hanging out we all are happy with each other and I never feel a distance between us. Every month we go see a movie together [and we always debate on what to see, my dads gf wants to see a chick flick and my dad and I want to see a action movie, we get lucky when movies like 'Star Trek' comes out. ahaha] But anyways, I love hanging with my parents and heres a few ways to advoid the hated outburts:

• if they say jump, you say "how high?"
• if they think youre autistic? just say "well you have an attitude problem" [sure its a bit iffy but its fun to say XD]
• pick a movie night! its fun and everyone enjoys it
• find a show you all like and watch it together
• see if your parents like any video games and break out tetris it never gets old
• if your parents want you to do something...just do it, it saves time
• and pretty much, stay on their good sides

These things are just what I use to stay on their good side...maybe they'll work for you all too.
