You Know You're a Parent of a Tween When....
1. You pay $24.99 for a pair of flip flops for your tween because everyone else has them.
2. You purchase Nintendo DS Lite because everyone will bring them on the field trip and your tween will be left out. Not to mention shelling out $30 a pop for the games.
3. You know who Billy Ray Cyrus is, and not for Achey Breaky Heart or even Dancing with the Stars.
4. You can't help but sing along to Hannah Montana, and now you can't get that damn song out of your head.
5. The Disney channel is ALWAYS on and Raven, Cory, Derrick, Zak, Cody have become household names.
6. Posters of Jessie, Ashley, Miley, and Matt have replaced framed pictures of kittens and puppies on the walls of your tween's bedroom,
7. Today your tween is friends with Nicole and tomorrow they are no longer friends, but next week they might be. And these developments are the end of the world as we know it.
8. The clothing your tween wears must have words written on it.
9. Eyerolls and hugs from your tween can happen simultaneously.
10. Your tween actually uses the phrase "open mouth kiss" (By the way, you will know you're a parent of a teen when using the phrase becomes acting out the phrase)
