13: OAF!
me: I'm not an oaf! you take that back!
13 *can't talk for laughing*
me: how very dare
13 *gasping between laughs*: i was trying to say opoe, but my lip caught on my braces!

13yo *makes a noise*
me: what did you just do?
13: no
me: what?
13: huh?
spouse: what is happening right now
13 *wails*: i don't know!
me *giggling*: you made a noise and I asked what you just did and you said no
13: i thought you said 'did you just toot'!
We really shouldn't be allowed out in public.
13yo will be auditioning in April for a spot in next school year's Musical Theater class.
For her audition, she must choose & prep two contrasting songs from the Golden Age of musicals.
She has chosen:
"My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music &
"I Hate Men" from Kiss Me, Kate.
Yesterday she had her first coaching session with my dad, a retired opera singer.
This entire situation delights me beyond all reason. βΊοΈπβΊοΈπ€©π€©π€©

Been spending septoplasty recovery rewatching Derry Girls for the millionth time. That show makes me so happy.
I'm also letting 13yo watch it with me and questioning my own parenting choices. But she's loving the whole thing, and the show triggers excellent conversation about teen troubles, so I don't have *too* many qualms. πππ

absolutely no one:
13yo: I'm 13 years sober! *cackles*
This kid, y'all.
Also, she set this up in our kitchen....
13yo *passing by* *informative tone*: I'm doing my laundry. I can't live like this anymore.
That's right, they CAN be taught! π
Took a pic of almost-13yo yesterday and now looking at it, trying to figure out when I got a young woman in place of a little girl. She's not supposed to look 16 yet. Right? Right?!?
*SIGH*
