Sometimes I assume that my teenagers assume I am easily stupid.
- I know that my buddy and I have grown up in unusual generations so they are naturally skilled in areas that I struggle with, and generally, they know how to operate a phone or kindle better than I ever could.
I realize that this makes them assume that I am clueless and every area of life, especially the shenanigans that you pull as a teenager. They must assume that I never went through that phase in my own lifetime so they can easily fool me with all of their adolescent hooliganry. Actually, I often know exactly what they’re up to when they’re trying to deceive me. I just let it happen because I can benefit at the same time. This was undoubtedly the case last yearwith my indoor air handling devices. I came apartment from labor and noticed it at the home stinked much fresher and cleaner than before. It seems like our indoor air quality had somehow received a major improvement while I was out of the house, and when I asked my family what was going on with the indoor air quality, my son cheerfully chimed in that he had taken care of the air filter and even scrubbed some of the HVAC ducts while I was gone. My son has never been one to take initiative, especially when it comes to his HVAC chores. At that moment I knew exactly what was going on, but I waited until his disappointing report card arrived in the mail to mention the linkion between the HVAC system and his attempt at avoiding upcoming punishment.
