High schoolers are funny.
But parents don’t often get to see their child’s humor. I get it– you’re tired (mentally, emotionally, physically). Every day, I get to see how high schoolers think and feel about their life. I want you to enjoy these interactions, too. Here are some funny things your child may have said:
01
On cloning
I’m going to clone you. I might already have your DNA.
02
On prefixes
If something’s ridiculous for the first time, is it just “diculous”?
03
On being broke
I’m broke. I could give you monopoly money.
04
On old age
Twenty is so old. (said by a high school freshman)
