This is the fate of teenagers who misbehave in my house.
Sassy? Incessant text messaging?
Go Knit.
Knit with the cat on your lap.
I told him he could have his cell phone back when he finished knitting a purse for the girl he kept texting with -- nonstop through dinner and family outings. Her name showed up on the phone as Pursegirl. So, he's knitting a purse. It's pink.
Look at his sweet hands. He took to it so easily. And it's so nice to sit with him and knit. I hope it takes him a long time to finish.
