Entering Puberty Prints

"Michele, do you mind if I walk you home? It's the hormones in the milk."

"When I first started school all I wanted were A's but since hitting puberty I'm far more interested in D's."

'Teenagers!'

"He likes it."

"Son, you're old enough now for The Talk: everything you need to know about compound interest."

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

'Thank goodness you were wrong mom, dad says a period is what comes at the end of a sentence.'

'Wow! That's some growth spurt!'

'You know they've reached puberty when they're more interested in Dr. Ruth than Babe Ruth.'

"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."

"Peach fuzz. How does a nectarine know when it reaches puberty?"

'When I turned 18 something started happening to me every month. I started receiving a credit card bill.'

'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!'"

'Soon, you will start to notice changes in your body... massive, horrifying changes.'

Teenage Angst.

Today I am trying to grow a bit of beard...

Sex Education

"Another barnacle?!" "I was a teenage creature."

Sex Education Class: "Smirking or non smirking?"

The end of innocence

"Sure they love us, but once we turn 18 and are no longer a tax deduction, they'll tell us to move out!"

Pubertry

"I don't know...but it seems like nothing ever changes around here. It's like we've been 15 years old forever!"

"Yeah, I've noticed it too: Young Master's smell has changed a lot since he's become a teenager..."

'Not till you're sixteen.'

I'd like to request a transfer to a household offering a higher allowance and fewer choices.

'I know you don't want to admit you're old enough to be menopausal, but blaming your hot flashes on global warming...'

'You think irritable fowl syndrome is bad? Just wait until you hit menopause.'

"Oh come now, darling. When I was your age, I felt different, too."

'That was quite a birthday party - we played full-contact spin-the-bottle.'

'And where have you been all day young lady? Your mother and I have been worried sick!'

Eighteenth Birthday.
