Like.....Totally a Teenager

I had to share my fun,-yet exacerbating -mothering a teenage girl moment. This last weekend we took Amanda shopping....good sales!! Well, she saw a coat that she wanted. It's a nice black one with fur around the hood....totally in!! Bob and I kept questioning her because we thought it might be a little too warm for Oregon and that she'd never wear it......lots of money.....no weary....didn't make sense. She assured us over and over that she is ALWAYS cold ALL day long and so this would be perfect for her. So, we caved and bought the coat. This morning it was quite cold....frost on the ground....so, she asked if she could wear the coat.....I said, "Sure!!" Everything went well but when I was driving her to school....I noticed she didn't have on her coat. So, I asked her if she forgot her coat. She replied while gazing out the window, "No....It was too hot". I whipped my head to look at her and said, "Are you SERIOUS!" She still didn't get it....because she innocently looked at me and said, "yeah". I then proceeded to remind her about our concern with buying the coat. She got a little testy then and said, "Well yeah, I usually am cold....for some reason though today I was hot." ....... Go figure that one out. Love my teenager! I think my mom's wish that I have a daughter just like me may just be coming true!!.....welll.....like I use to tell my mom....."Good....cause then she'll be perfect!!". And, I think Amanda IS perfect :).......love you Panda Bear!
