My wife is torturing the boys yup piss mom off ,online school clothes shopping

I’m laughing as I can hear her and the two knuckleheads from back deck having coffee it’s like a interview. Now the eleven year old totally painless shopping he chose some nice jeans and shirts new sneakers .Then with our seventeen and sixteen year old the shit just went downhill fast.

Sixteen year old - Mom just order me like six sets of gym shorts tracksuit tops and pants and some pullover no collar shirts you decide mom.

Seventeen year old - yea mom same for me sounds good.

Now these two we’re trying to get out of the detail and move on to what they wanted to do. I heard my wife raising her voice.

My wife five foot four maybe 115 in weight raising her voice get your asses back to the table. You will not be dressing like gym rats or Russian mobsters. As a immigrant of eastern europeans I smiled no offense . I walked in a awhile ago and said oh my let’s look in what you guys picked so my wife went to each cart and dad looked. I got the look from the two knock it off dad we know what you are doing just making this longer.
So now the two ass clowns and mom are looking at clothes and sneakers it’s going to be awhile.

I was lucky I guess, my boys were pretty easy going about clothes. But oh I have heard horror stories from friends who had teenage daughters.

Let’s just say that fun was not had by all.

It was akin to a torture session. At least now he has everything but a black tie for his dress outfit, and another pair of shorts and a few more polo shirts for everyday wear.

Well I will agree there is a unique pleasure derived from tweeking teens.
When they just stare at you, mouth agape, that is a big win.

“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”

As my mother used to say to me when she was completely exasperated -- we're from Eastern Europe -- "My avengers will be born!"
