Turning 16 Gifts

Parent Supervision on Teen Driving.

'You need a lot more money.'

"That's right, Terri, my dad let me borrow his car!"

"Thank you. Now we'd like to do our big hit -- I Can't Wait to be 16'."

"The second I turn 16 I'm joining a conservative political party and then I'll be able to do whatever I want!"

'Son, now that you're 16, I thought I'd let you drive.'

"You know, we're not getting any younger...I mean, pretty soon, we'll both be 16."

"Sorry, kid. No off-campus drinking until you're twenty-one."

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

'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."

"I'll be glad when this is over and Sarah can be herself again."

Teenage Angst.

'Great news, Methuselah Tests show you'll live to be 100!'

'Man, I'm age 21 now and so far, I haven't done anything important. Things can't go on like this or I will have to forget my plan to become rich and famous by writing my autobiography at age 35!'

'Your dad wouldn't let you borrow the car tonight?'

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!"

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

'Not till you're sixteen.'

Eighteenth Birthday.

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

Happy Birthday!

'It's nice to see you all,but I was just going out to work.'

"I told him he's going to regret it, but what can I do? He's eighteen now."

"Dad, this is totally the most important conversation ever!"

Beware... the Piñata of Adulthood

"I told him he's going to regret it, but what can I do? He's eighteen now."

"MOM! Connor got all tangled up in his keychain lanyard again!"

Another year older and you look as young as ever! Alcohol is a great preservative!

"This is a sad 'coming of age' movie? Like when you freaked out over your first gray hair?"

"All day long, someone is telling me what to do. I'll sure be glad when I'm old enough to do what I want!"

"IRL sucks."

'You're too young to see this programme, but if you want, I'll tape it so you can watch it when you're eighteen.'

"I'll let you kids in, but you're gonna have to pay taxes and deal with your own mortality."
