'You can stick your filthy shell. I'm listening to the Arctic Monkeys.'

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

'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?'

"Allowance?! Yeah, if you take out the trash, I'll allow you to keep living here."

"Having a cat will prepare us for having a teenager one day."

"Looking cool in a car takes practice."

Teenage Angst.

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