a teenager.

A teenager is a person who
can't remember to walk the dog, but never forgets a phone number.
a weight watcher who goes on a diet by giving up candy bars before breakfast.
a youngster who receives her allowance on Monday, spends it on Tuesday,
& borrows it from her best friend on Wednesday.
someone who can hear her favourite band three blocks away,
but not her mother calling from the next room.
a whiz who can operate the latest computer without a lesson,
but can't make a bed.
a student who spends twelve minutes studying history,
& twelve hours studying for her driver's license.
an enthusiast who has the energy to bike four miles,
but is usually too tired to dry the dishes.
a young woman who loves the cat & tolerates the brother.
a romantic who never falls in love more than once a week.
a budding beauty who never smiles until her braces come off.
a boy who can sleep till noon
on any Saturday he suspects the lawn needs mowing.
& an original thinker who is positive that her mother was never a teenager.
