I was once 16

Why do our own children think that we haven't done what they are trying to do at the same age?  Do they think we went from 15 straight to 21?  We have done the same things at the same age, and our parents wouldn't let us do it either.  You are 16 and want to go out with your friends, that is okay.  You forgot to tell me you want to leave the house at 10:30 at night to go out.  I don't think so.  Not at that hour.  All you will be doing is getting in trouble. 

Do these words sound familiar?  Yes, these are words that came out of our child's mouth, our mouth, our parents mouth, need I go any further?   Just remember smarty, I was also 16 at one time in my life.  I didn't do it and neither are you!......
