Out of the Mouth of......Teenagers

The other day I was doting on Cody for making a 90 on his Algebra II test.  This is the highest grade he's ever made on a math test.  And he needed it.  His grade was floating in the low 'C' range and wrestling eligibility is done often.  I had resorted to taking away all leisure - specifically hunting privileges if his math grade dropped below a 70 again.  Mind you, I have used this before and all that really makes a difference is that he WANTS to improve. 

Me: "Code, I am so proud of you for doing so well on your math test!  That is awesome.  You really......."

Cody (interrupting): " Jimmy Wayne at AutoZone ordered me a Dixie horn.  Imma go put it on my truck."  (as he runs out the door). 



I. give. up.  There's no taking the redneck out of this kid.
