Here is an glimpse into texting between parent and teenager in the seifert household:
Teenager: Hey can i go see new moon? Please
Parent: I seriously have no money right now - have you noticed the fridge? Are you at the dentist right now?
Teenager: Yep and yep well if i earn money can i go
Parent: Do you know what Im going to ask next?
Teenager: Whos going well its me and **** i think
Parent: No ******? I thought he wanted to go with **** too?
Teenager: Oh then maybe him too
Parent: Did you forget you are grounded because of the Cadillac? I did then I remembered - too bad
Teenager: Thats why i was asking i could have just gone
Parent: Thanks for asking honey, I really appreciate that- how's the dentist going?
Teenager: Stop talking to me
Parent: Are u mad at me?????
sigh... Being a parent is not good for self esteem, or the stomach, or the hair, or the nerves.

Love the text! Thanks for the insight into what I have to look forward to...How tricky of you to remember the grounding, Victoria! Don't worry, you'll be forgiven as soon as he/she thinks of something else they really want! ;)
