Conversation this week On The Ponderosa:
ME: Lulu, did the Princess tell you we are going on vacation next month?
LULU: No, she doesn’t tell me anything. Where are you going?
This is a blatant exaggeration born of teenage angst. When not physically attached at the hip these two BFF talk no fewer than 10 hours per week, not [...]

Summertime here On The Ponderosa and school is out. Who plans this school calendar? No one trapped in a house will two teenage girls I can assure you. The Princess and her best friend Lulu (read: BFF Tag Team) had dreams of the lazy days of summer with no classes. Now four weeks since the last day of school their favorite [...]
TEENAGERS…The New Gateway Drug For Parents
Posted in ARE YOU KIDDING ME?, FUNNY, IDIOCRACY, LIFE, PARENTING, RANTS, WHY ??? on July 1, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Ponder no longer why adults slowly ease in to alcoholism around say their mid-forties…it is because they have teenagers. Seriously, AA should add a 13 step to their program…..We have come to believe that we were driven to drink by our futile efforts to communicate with our teenagers and admitted that the exact nature of our [...]
PARENTS GONE STUPID
Posted in ARE YOU KIDDING ME?, IDIOCRACY, LIFE, PARENTING, WHY ??? on May 17, 2007 | 5 Comments »
One night a week, The Queen indulges in girls night out with her best friend. Basically, this is a torrid affair of attempting to enjoy a quiet meal in a restaurant and catching up on gossip. My idea of a good time does not include the following tale of parents gone stupid accompanied by an 8 year old child that [...]
HIGHWAY TO HELL: VIA ALGEBRA II ROUTE
Posted in PARENTING on April 26, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Has anyone has bypassed this route on your road to parenting? Let me familiarize you with my current Highway to Hell. It is located in the city of Math, still don’t know it? Try exit Algebra II Honors. There exists a land of polynomials, with a few exponents and radicals with stupid algebraic expressions on [...]
SMACKDOWN IN THE CHURCH PARKING LOT
Posted in ARE YOU KIDDING ME?, LIFE, PARENTING on April 23, 2007 | 5 Comments »
This past weekend I attended a baby shower in our church fellowship hall, I had forgotten my camera and returned to the parking lot to retrieve it from the car. Out of the corner of my eye I say a young girl, 12 years old push her mother in to the side of their family van and [...]
PROM DRESSES & THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS
Posted in PARENTING on April 16, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
One may consider that a ludicrous title for a post, but I have my reasons, stay with me. The Princess and I ventured four hours to coastal North Carolina in search of the much coveted prom dress that is like no other. For those with teenage daughters that have yet to endure this past-time, I [...]
BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID

Conversation overheard On The Ponderosa this weekend:
The Princess expressed for the twenty hundredth time her heart felt desire to bore a hole in her abdomen (okay, so she called it a belly button ring). Semantics! To support her plea she informed The Royal parents that she has done a wealth of research and found the best [...]
CONDOMS HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT

Recently, The Princess and a friend (let’s call her Lulu) were dressing for the party of the year, Lulu asked me to hand her something from her purse. It was at that moment I realized the true meaning of TMI. Hiding right there in plain sight was a condom, innocently paperclipped to a bright red [...]
REMOTE CONTROL FOR YOUR TEENAGER
Posted in PARENTING on March 21, 2007 | 1 Comment »
The Princess recently briefed me on the Teen Buzz ringtone, I believe I have been living under a rock since this has been available for quite some time now. This tone was originally intended to deter teens from specific areas, but was altered in to a ringtone that was tolerable to teens and cannot be heard by most [...]
