Adolescent Growth Mugs

'Don't worry, dear -- The bust is yet to come.'

'From six to to eighteen, they're always at that age.'

'Well, Tommy, you've grown a foot since the last time I saw you!'

"I don't know why I worry...Baldo's just a normal boy. It's good to see him maturing...making friends...with nice girls...exploring new feelings...and desires.... You have to go home now."

"I hate you! You don't understand me and you don't understand my software!"

'Since we're being so honest, perhaps I should mention that I liked you better as an egg.'

'Isn't it time you started thinking about cars instead of horsie rides?'

"Wings will be cool, I guess, but I'm mostly hoping the braces and pimples fall off."

"Well, I've come this close to asking out Sylvia Sanchez. But I'm just an average guy! Nothing about me says 'I'm cool! Look at me!'"

'Beware of the teenager.'

'Dad, can I borrow the club tonight?'

'Why do you want an earring? You can't even see it!'

"Let's look for spots and then talk about what we would've done on 'em 10 years ago."

"All this running around you do at night … it’s killing your mother."

"I wouldn't worry, at his age grunting to communicate is quite normal."

"I was 13 once. It was hard."

'I think he's beginning to notice girls.He's washed his face without being asked to!'

'Adolescents act like babies when they aren't treated like adults!'

"Shaving off your three whiskers doesn't make you older!"

'Soon he will stop asking where he came from and start telling you where he is going.'

"I feel sorry for kids these days - they're always being tested for something"

"I think I'll be more relaxed once my secondary sex characteristics kick in."

"Oh no, not dinner again!"

"Son, I really wish I could tell you that "Cowboy Ballerina" is a normal part of growing up, but... it's not."
