My house is full of teenage girls. So far there has been a total lack of nail polish, gossip about boys, hair fixing, and telephone calls. Instead Kiki ran a water balloon toss, a massive battle with padded swords, a showing of Dr. Horrible, and a Super Smash Brothers tournament. Howard supplied double-decker dutch oven pizza. Everyone has been having a great time. I love that I don’t really have to run things. I just make sure there is food and supplies, then I get out of the way. The party runs for one more hour, after which there will be blessed quiet.

Sounds like a well-oiled machine at your house! And doncha just love teens? I do!
So far I love teenagers. I love seeing them form their own identities and gain independence.
