The boys' answers to these cracked me up so much, I thought I'd go ahead and ask the teenager. Her answers surprised me. Also, there is a conflict with some of the narrative. I typed what she said; I thought it made it more 'real.'
Enjoy.

Seriously? That's 15? So nice! I hope Iain's that nice when he's 15. Doubtful, but hope springs eternal.
Wow...I don't think I would have been so nice to my mom at 15. LOL
And what is it with you, Skittles, and jellybeans anyway, woman? LMAO
XOXO
I also would not have been that nice about my mom at 15. In fact, I'm not all that nice about her now. But you guys seem to have a much healthier relationship. Also, it's kind of weird to think you have a daughter that's the same age I remember you.
Skittles...I love it. And whats so bad about reading?!?! :)
Have a good weekend!
hugs,
Kathi
That was really sweet!
I loved the last one, "To the Library. Just kidding, the bookstore." That made me giggle.
