I was describing my son’s behavior to my friend with the comment that there didn’t seem to be much “impending” about adolescence.
“Congratulations” said she. “He’s about to become an appetite, a coma, and an attitude with legs.”
*When I was a teenager, someone (I think my aunt) tried to explain puberty to my then 6 year old cousin. Somewhat later, she said “Mom says you’re going through pubertory.” Note that “Purgatory” is a strictly Christian concept, and we aren’t and have never been Christian.
