Conversation with my teen:
Teen (in the morning): Mom, you don't have to pick me up after school today. I am walking to the rec. center with my friends to play basketball.
Mom: Sounds great precious boy, have a blessed day at school. (actually I said, "whatever")
Teen (texting mom during school against the rules big time): Mom, please come after school to pick up my book bag so I don't have to carry it to the rec. center.
Mom: No problem sweetheart, anything for you. (again, I probably said "whatever")
With the end of school near, I drop what I am doing at home (I'm sure it was something super improtant) and head to the parking lot to wait for Nicky. I get there a few minutes early to get one of the coveted spots (it gets crazy with all the after school pickups). I wait and wait and wait some more. School has now ended and I wait. The buses have now left and I wait. Then I here my phone do the little *ting* for a text message.
Teen (texting mom): Nevermind
Mom: Nevermind what? I am here already!
Teen: Nevermind
Mom: Did you leave already? Nevermind me going home or nevermind me staying here?
Teen: no response
Now I have to remember this the next time he "needs me". If he needs to be picked up from something, I will wait until twenty minutes after our arranged pick up time and then text him, "nevermind"!
