My almost 12 year old son is starting to get those pre-teen hormonal attacks! [View all]

Another DUer mentioned her 15 year old son's hormonal attacks in a great thread about how HE has more of a clue than rush limbooger.

My son worked in his first campaign in 2010 when he canvassed with me to attempt to get Libby Mitchell elected Governor of Maine. He is a young man that a friend trusted enough to come out to at the end of his 5th grade year because he knew that my son is a true friend. He will be working along side of his mom and I this year to get President Obama re-elected, put a Democrat in olympia snowe's seat and to keep the House seat in Democratic hands as well as to get the state legislature back.

That being said, he is very young and those hormones are starting to HOP. I pulled a dirty trick on him a few days ago.

He asked when he'd be able to watch "a movie with a lot of boobs in it". I told him that I'd put on a DVD with "a lot of boobs in it".

I played "Farenheit 911" for him and pointed out a LOT of boobs like bush, cheney, rumsfeld, wolfowitz, etc.

He went from very thrilled to very pissed VERY QUICKLY, but he did see the humor in it. He can always appreciate a joke, even when it's a good natured one at his expense. He WILL get me back for that one, however.

I just thought I'd share. I thought it was funny; a little cruel, but FUNNY! It's my 2 cents and quite possibly overpriced at that!

PEACE!
