I bet when she reads your concerns and worries about that teenager of yours she just shakes her head and wonders if you have hidden your teen years in some deep recess of your mind. My guess is that YOUR MOM has tried to bury those memories herself, BUT then you torture her with your crazy scribblings and tales and confessions and I think she should just quit reading you because she is probably just old and tired and needs some peace.
