"I'm a Teenager"

Saturday morning Paige was in the shower "cleaning" and singing. She loves to make up songs, but this morning her song was more like a mantra that she sang over and over. It went something like this..."I'm a Teenager, I'm a Teenager, I'M A TEENAGER, I'M A TEENAGER!!" Until she was yelling. What does this mean? I chose to just ignore her. I think secretly I am afraid of her. I was always a people pleasing passive child. She is the exact opposite.

She tells women at the soccer games they are ugly, she looks for "fat boys" to make disappear with her wand, she demands chocolate milk in bed while saying she is not ready to get up, she needs "more" sparkly make-up because she can't see it, about every other day she needs her nails done, she always needs a "tissue" after a very dramatic blow up to wipe her eyes, she talks incessantly, she lets the dog in to sit on the couch (and pee) to watch Coraline or Alice in Wonderland with her and on and on. I work full time and She is still very exhausting to me, I can't imagine what she will be like when she really is a TEENAGER.
