Nope, you were just way more annoying than you generally care to remember. Sorry you had to find out this way.

If you say, "but actually I wasn't annoying as a teenager." Sorry, you missed your chance! Not my problem!

The kids are the best. I have a young adult kid and he and his friends have taught me all I know about neurotype, gender, communism, acceptance and introduced me to people like Hasan which was my first step into proper leftism. Without my kid I probably would not be here.
I also love how they create safe spaces, how they stand up for things, my kid walked away from a work rehearsal where they used racist and misogynistic language. I never probably would have, back when I was a teen it was totally ok to comment my body and if someone touched you, you kind of had to just suck it up and move on.
My heart breaks at how my gen and those before me have broken this world for them. I work with young adults in my work that have been left behind by this system. They are the best humans, each struggling in pretty horrible ways in the world we are leaving them. This is a big reason why I am all for revolution.
this is a really sweet anecdote. genuinely happy for you and your kid's relationship
