We took our son to eat breakfast on his birthday and when the hostess was sitting us, she asked if we needed a kid's menu.

My son looked at her surprised and said, "Kids menu? Excuse me! I'm a teenager! Today is my birthday. I'm eleven-teen!"

My 10 year old son got a little upset when he found out the reason why I had him practice and memorize states and their capitals.

I told him, "Next week you have MAP testing."

After my divorce at age 40, my boss, a 70 year old business owner, approached me to find out how things were going with me and my ex.

I told him it was unexpected and now that I'm going through this, I'm finding out that my brother is also getting divorced, my neighbors are getting divorced, another coworker is also getting divorced.

I said, "I don't know what's going on!"

He told me with a straight face, "You guys are all doing okay getting divorced. The people I know are dying."
