Smartass Is More Like It
After having a heated "discussion" with my eleven year old, in which he insisted his stupid ridiculous thoughts on alien abductions were undeniably true and refused to hear any evidence to the contrary, I said:
"You know what, I wish I was half as smart as I thought I was when I was eleven years old."
"Yes, but the difference is I am smarter than you."
Who is this kid? And what kind of price could I get for him on ebay?

I know all 11 year olds THINK it but what balls it takes to actually SAY it out loud!
Welcome to almost teenagerhood...it's a fun filled place.
Oh, man.
When I was that age, my parents and grandparents would always say, "Boy, it must be SO nice knowing everything." and I would say, "Oh, it's really great!"
I think it's a universal problem with 11 year olds. Mine was the exact same way at that age. He's now 13 and in his "quiet" phase. Good luck.
Unfortunately, smartass kids are not getting the high prices as they used to. Looks like you are stuck with him.
Look on the bright side, you could have my four year old. He thinks the toilet is evil and will not poop in it.
It only gets better as they get older! GOOD LUCK, I say.
Maybe if we packaged up your oldest and my oldest together we could market them as some sort of buy-one-get-one-free deal?
I think you should document this and have him sign it, then seal it in an envelope and store it with your keepsakes...then give it to him when he's 25. With love, of course! :-)
Oh just wait Chris. Unfortunately the sarchasm only gets worse! Wait until he is 15! (I have one of these)
I tried the ebay thing once with a surly teenage boy. I got an e-mail asking how much I would pay them to come get him and haul him off *sigh*
Oh boy, and you have so many more kids who will hit 11 and say the same thing. I bet you'll develop a snappy comeback over time...:)
