The Sullen Teen

The Sullen Teen

Anyone that has ever been in the presence of a teen for very long knows that one of their favorite words is, “grrrmmm”.

I’m not sure what language it is, but they all seem to know it.

When my sons were young teens many of my cheery attempts to connect and communicate with them were rebuffed by the very limited teen vocabulary. My sunny disposition and expectant, “Hi! How was your day?” often resulted in “mmrrph.” “What did you do?” was met with something akin to a growl.
