The Kid turned 14 last month and that means two things -

1) I'm freaking old

2) Hormones, hormones, hormones

He has a new mood every five minutes and I pretty much don't know on any given day if he's going to be a human being or a cartoon villain. Yesterday, he was in a particularly foul mood, crabby, grumpy and basically no fun to be around.

On the way home from his basketball practice, when he was too worn out from playing to be a creep, I finally asked why he'd been in such a bad mood.

"Are you having girlfriend* troubles or something?"

"Nah," he said without missing a beat. "I keep my hoes in check."

After I stopped laughing, I reminded him that they're called girls.


*he's not very forthcoming with the details of his social life, but it doesn't stop me from asking (and he's 14, so it's not like there's many details to be had)
