I eat a couple of crackers before my run and I can feel them swimming around in my stomach. My son can eat 3 fire tacos and 3 loaded grillers and then do a P90x workout 10 minutes later (he's doing that now :noway: .

I eat 10 cals over my daily limit and gain weight. He inhales 3000 calories at one time and loses a pound.

I work every day and never seem to have enough money. He works as a soccer ref one day a week and is Mr. Moneybags.

My idea of a good night is going to bed before 11pm. His idea of a good night is going to bed after 11pm.

And finally, I get last years phone. He always gets the new one :laugh:

    He has a metabolism like a blast furnace.
    He knows what he wants to be when he grows up. (So did I when I was 14, but I was convinced I was going to be President. Glad THAT didn't happen!)

    She mocks half of my clothes
    She borrows the other half of my clothes (which mostly don't fit me now)
    She tells her friends I'm older than I actually am (I think they believe her)
    She takes the p*ss out of me & sometimes I have to look up what the word means
    She reminds me when my hair is even slightly overdue a colour
    She can sit up playing video games all weekend without needing 24hrs sleep to recover
    She doesn't have to trim her eyebrows once every 6mths as well as get them threaded :noway:

    I pick my Son up from school every day (He is 12).
    Although my Jeep is pretty cool, he still is somehow embarassed by it.
    So, I decided to load my phone with some Village People and Barry Manilo.
    Thats right, no more Maclemore or N.E.R.D. when I pick him up.
    No, instead it is "Love on the rocks" with the top off and the system up.

    Oh, *kitten*. LMFAO. This is so great!!

    My kids all have to give me a hug and a kiss on the cheek when they are leaving for the night somewhere. No hug, no kiss, no money. Call me sadistic but I'll take my hug where I can get it. :bigsmile:

    My 8 year old daughter is going through puberty. I don't envy her AT ALL! :wink:

    I'm so stealing this--well, once she's out of puberty and won't be likely to murder me in my sleep if I do this!
