Hi! I'm Lindsay Ferrier. You might remember me from a blog called Suburban Turmoil. Well, a lot has changed since I started that blog in 2005. My kids grew up, I got a divorce, and I finally left the suburbs for the heart of Nashville, where I feel like I truly belong. I have no idea what the future will hold and you know what? I'm okay with that. Thrilled, actually. It was time for something totally different.

>”I know it says I have play practice tomorrow on the schedule, but I don’t think I do,” my 13-year-old stepdaughter said after dinner last night. “So I’ll call you if I don’t have it.”
“Okay,” I said.
This morning as she was leaving, I said, “Okay, so you’re going to call me if you don’t have play practice.”
“Yeah. I mean it says I do, but I think I don’t. So I’ll call you if I don’t.”
“Well, why don’t you call me if you do? Because then I’ll know that I need to pick you up.”
“Okay, I’ll call you if I do.”
“Yeah. And if you don’t, then I’ll know.”
“Yeah, because I’ll call you. Okay, bye!”
“Bye!”
Now, school’s out. She didn’t call.
What the hell does that mean?

>I think it means that she’s growing up, but I’m not sure. I don’t have a teenager.
>I have conversations with my husband like that all the time. It usually ends with me getting on my cell phone and saying, “so what did we decide??”I’m glad she got home, though. 🙂
>Well, at least if you google “totally confusing teenager” your stepdaughter will be one of like a billion hits.
>I don’t know, but I’d call HER! 😉

>another victim of teen doublespeak…
>LOVE those bratty confused teens….Mine thinks in the same riddles…
>Oh, mine is just the opposite. This is the first year she has agreed to ride the bus- because her friends also are riding. Thank God, because this is also the first year my 15-year-old is going to school across town, so I was looking at two major car rides with the baby per day. Yick
