Just think of how smart the little ****heads have to be to run all those gadgets though! The toughest thing we, and I'm 57 had to figure out was to set the alarm clock so we could get home before curfew!

what I really hated was when my brother and I were living at home we had to cut the grass with a gas powered lawnmower. When we moved out my dad bought a riding lawnmower. When I asked him why he did not buy one for us to use his answer, "that is what you have kids for". I never got a chance to even try it our, it was his baby.
