5. he probably likes RPGs (Role playing games)
like dungeons and dragons, etc. A lot of those folk wear cloaks. They are also not the most popular bunch around school.

18. Does he always wear black, pants covered in zippers and buckles,
and is his favorite clothing store Hot Topic.

The not to worry, its just a fashion statement.

25. I've feared the teenage years for quite some time
It's not as bad as I thought, course we're just getting started.

How's it going for you?

27. Right now shes at a city council meeting trying to stop the construction
of a new local Walmart. I'm watching on TV and she's sitting where I can see her.

I really am proud. I think shes the only girl her age there.

30. Wow! That's really cool that she is involved like that.
My daughter would not attend a city council meeting on her own volition.

She'll go along to protests, though.

31. She's there with her dad, but she's been involved with the whole thing
She's been at the grocery store everyday after school getting her petition signed.

28. Hot Topic does NOT cross over with the cloak crowd!!
Hot Topic = "I am a punk because my sparkly purse says so!!!"
Cloak = "My friends call me Lord Alvadorn"

29. I've seen cloaks at Hot Topic, and my daughter wouldn't be caught
dead with a sparkly purse. She loves Hot Topic, her current idol is Foamy, and you can only get the stuff at Hot Topic

20. Hand him a cola, and say
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

Do it with an evil grin, before you give him the real gift . . .

32. Typo or misunderstanding?
Maybe he wanted a "clock"? Something cool looking with fake sticks of dynamite, wires and detonators perhaps?

35. Go for a heavy cotton...
That makes the best trench coats and cloaks, in my opinion.
