Ohhhhhh the teenage years.. Out of mouths of babes

Whats with the TEENAGE YEARS.. Why cant they be just as smooth sailing as the infant years. I have 2 teenage boys now and let me tell you I want out. Now.. I want out.. lol.. Why must everything I say be wrong, why must everything I do be wrong, until someone who is younger and I guess cooler (oh these kids don't know how cool I really am.. lol) says the exact same thing and then they do it. What the heck is up with that? What part of listen to me and things will go smoothly don't they get. Then when their life falls apart (when can I tell them its just the beginning) I have to come fix it. I feel so bad that I don't say I TOLD you so.. When can I? When is it the most proper time to say I TOLD YOU SO. lol..
Some recent conversations Ive had with my teenagers
Mom: David hows football practice
David: Good
Mom: Just good, how is it, what position are you and stuff like that
David: Mom its just good don't worry about it
Mom: Don't worry about it, OK then you can walk to practice since I don't have to worry about it
David: What does that mean
Mom: It means if you don't want me to worry about it then walk
David: I cant walk, why would I walk
Mom: Why because I'm not taking you anymore that's why you would walk
David: OK you win, football practice is fine, I play O line which means offense mom and I play center, and long snap, what else do you want to know so that I can get a ride
Mom: Forget it I don't want to know anymore the moment has passed
David: First you want to know then you don't want to know.. And you say I'm confusing..
See what I mean why cant they just answer and tell you how things are going.
Second conversation
Mom: Mone get ready so we can go sign up for football
Mone: Do I have to play this year
Mom: Yes
Mone: Why?
Mom: What else are you going to do? If you find something else to do then you don't have to play, like join a club a reading club a science club what.. If you don't want to play sports then find something else for you to do.
Mone: Can I join a video game club
Mom: Where is that at
Mone: Here in my living room
Mom: No that is not a club
Mone: Mom I play Halo which means I save the earth from all that is evil.. I will sacrifice my summer and play it so you guys can sleep well at night
Mom: Do you really think I'm going to fall for that
Mone: OK I will play football but I'm not going to try my best
Mom: Oh yes you will
Mone: Dang you HATE me mom,..
If I have to continue to have these kinds of conversations with my kids I might as well call it quits now.. lol..
Lord be with during these teenager years so that we ALL can get through it
