...she liked to live dangerously, and, okay, it was entertaining, she had to admit, watching her mother getting angrier and angrier while trying not to,...but she had to make sure her mother didn't get too angry, or it would quickly stop being funny and start being scary. Whew. It was hard work being thirteen.Yes, I know it must be, although my teenage years are a very distant memory. I suppose I must have been thirteen once upon a time, but right now that's pretty hard to believe.

Great teaser this week, Joy - though I swear, I was never that bad as a teenager. Really. My baby sister more than made up for me.
ReplyDeleteCute excerpt. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAll the best, Boonie
