LOL...that response made me chuckle...:-)
I was always reminding my daughter that "kids aren't people," and that "one day she will be an actual person" if she makes the right choices.
I've been telling her that since she was three. Now she is an extraordinary 15-year-old with excellent personal values, and we have a very, very close relationship. I am proud of her on every level and she is my greatest joy.
But I still never fail remind her that teenagers aren't people either.
