Experimenting with boundaries.
Experiment 1.

Apparatus: One 13 years old brat. A constant source of trouble and strife for my poor long suffering parents.

Methodology: See How long can I go without saying a single word to them.

Result: Precisely 3 hours and 37 minutes until I had to grovellingly ask for a lift to a friends house.

Conclusion: 13 years olds need to speak to their parents more than their parents need to be spoken to.



Experiment 2.

Apparatus: One 14 year old brat who thinks he's even better than he was when he was a 13 year old brat

Methodology: Tell your Dad to 'F-off' in the middle of a row about being outside playing football when you've been told to wash the car/

Result: Being chased round and round the garden until your younger brother is laughing so hard that you start to laugh too, then your Dad laughs. Then, as you walk indoors, while still laughing, you get a wallop round the back of the head.

Conclusion: Dad's are evil bastards and just because they are laughing, doesn't mean you've been forgiven.
