It seems as if the world is divided into two different groups of people. You have those individuals who love the morning and seemed to enjoy waking up to greet the day. On the other hand, you also have a group of people who would rather just pull the sheets up over their head and go back to sleep again. Teenagers often fall into the second category, and they may show a little bit of attitude along with their desire to sleep.
As many parents have come to realise, trying to wake a teenager for school can be quite a difficult task. It doesn’t matter what you do, you are going to run into a wall at some point or another. In fact, you may find that it is one of the most frustrating things that you have to face as a parent, and you must face it every day.
A mother of three, Nicole Poppic, was having a difficult time getting her oldest teenager to get up. Her daughter, Cara, was an honour student and typically well behaved but she absolutely hated waking up in the morning and wasn’t afraid to mumble about it.
Nicole had finally reached the end of her rope and decided to approach it from a different direction. She put her three children in the car and then dealt with Cara on her own terms.
After dropping off the other two children, as they were up and ready to go, she got busy writing a note to explain why Cara was tardy. Although Cara would not take the note to school, her mother did and now she is an Internet sensation.
The note reads:
“To whom it may concern:
“Cara is tardy this morning as a result of a condition known as teenage-ism. Adolescents across our great nation are afflicted and there is no known cure.
“Symptoms are multitudinous, but this particular morning, she suffered from an inability to remove herself from her bed, and also felt the need to talk back to her birth-giver.
“She seems to be recovering her senses, after watching her mobile phone fly out the car window. Please call if there is another flare-up. Thank you,
“Nicole Poppic”
We hope it had the effect she desired.
