3. Football 'up and downs' are the worst thing on the planet.
4. They need space.
5. They need down time. (did I mention that already?)
6. They like to hang with their cousins/friends more than anyone else.
7. Don't take it personally (see #6).
8. They like to tease.
9. They like to torment their sisters.
10. They eat a lot and like places like Golden Corral.
11. They are still sweet and need to talk.
12. Listen more than you talk.
13. They stretch out and look like they are going to fall asleep at church.
14. Home Teaching causes stress.
15. They like to shoot air soft guns at each other.
16. They seem to say "oh mom" a lot more.
17. They think bruises are cool.
18. They have a lot of girl 'friends' on Facebook that you don't know and really don't care to know.
19. They like money.
20. They still need hugs from mom.
