Last month while babysitting thirteen year old Lena, I MADE her and her eleven year old brother go for a ride with me to the National Harbor and along the GW parkway stopping at the Theodore Roosevelt island.
I MADE her.. I am so cruel.. might as well be child abuse...
Corey had no issues going... he was like "OK cool"...Lena did not want to go..
She was like "I just want to stay here!!!!"I said no.. I am going to be gone for too long and I am being paid to watch you...it took me what felt like an eternity to convince her that she "may" have fun... She was like ..well I don't like
museums
statues
hiking
or
being outside
so I don't think I want to go...
I said "that she COULD NOT JUST sit around the house and skype with her her friends about One Direction..."
so um..she came and then texted and called her friends and talked about One Direction...
Did I make the right choice in forcing her..???
While we were driving it took us about an hour to get there...she INSISTED that I have on the radio station 99.5..because she thought that they had the highest probability of playing a One Direction song...
Every time a commercial came on and I changed it to 94.7 or 107.3 she was like "HURRY CHANGE IT BACK!!!" I DON'T WANT TO MISS ONE DIRECTION!!!!!" I was like but they play it on these stations too...she was like..well not as MUCH as they play it on 94.7....O.M.GOSH.....
at one point I was trying to back up.. in a tight spot and she was like "HURRY CHANGE IT BACK!!!! I DON'T WANT TO MISS ONE DIRECTION!" I said "no, I can not.. I am driving.. but Josh.. (my friend that was sitting in the passenger seat can)
She was like "OK just please do it quick"....
all day it was all about One Direction.. ALLLL DAAAAY
like when the DJ talked she about went nuts .. she had a running commentary of talking back to them...
"like um HELLO want to make five million people happy right now??? PLAY ONE DIRECTION!!!!"
and
"I don't get it I seriously DO NOT GET IT.. WHY ARE THEY NOT PLAYING THEM.... ??"
" WHY HAVE WE BEEN IN THE CAR THIS LONG AND THEY HAVE NOT PLAYED THEM" WHY????
" I am going to text the radio station RIGHT NOW!!!! AND TELL THEM TO PLAY ONE DIRECTION"...
" Corey can you also text the radio station... and tell them to play One Direction"
"How can we have been in the car THIS long and they still have not played them...."
"oh no.. they are NOT playing Taylor Swift again TURN the channel... I am NOT listening to her... she went out with Harry and they broke up.. and I know she is going to write a song about him.. and I am NOT going to listen to her..."
"how can they play SO MUCH TAYLOR SWIFT and not any One Direction...I don't get it??? she is SO ANNOYING and all her songs are about guys she dated and she has dated Harry...and well that is just not cool.. "
I thought that um because Taylor Swift has a LOT of songs.. One Direction has ONE... well OK two.. but the second one never really took off...
" I bet that if Harry met me... he would want to date me.. because well he said he would date a fan.. and I am a fan.. and I am not THAT much younger than him.., I just can't believe that he wasted his time on someone like TAYLOR SWIFT..when we know that she will write a song about him"
I can not stand when she goes on this tangent.. like you are a young looking thirteen year old and a MINOR and well at this point I have more of a chance of getting Harry than you do...
When we got to The National Harbor she was disgruntled because well... we came all that way and still had not heard them..she spent her whole time there on her cell phone philosophizing about them to her friend.. they are all on a first name basis with these men...
She also is way into this band "Little Mix" they are like a consolation prize to her.. like if the radio can not play One Direction.. could they AT LEAST PLAY LITTLE MIX... HELLO.....???
Little Mix is like a girl version of One Direction...and one of the members of Little Mix Perri..is dating Zayn of One Direction and for this reason Lena has gave up on Zayn because well she is OK with Perri and "she wants him to be happy...
She did not like when I put on 107.3 because they say "mix one oh seven point three.." and then she was like "WHAT MIX...what... omogosh are they going to play Little Mix???? "she was like "they keep on getting my hopes up... "
How dare they...
I heard a song that was sang by woman at one point I said "is this Little Mix?" she said.. "no".. I said "oh well I have not heard this song.. and well I have not heard Little Mix... so I thought it could be"
Later I heard what I thought was another song by women.. I said "is THIS Little Mix.. she said.. "no this is the same song you asked me before if it was Little Mix..."
My bad...
She did not want to get out at the Theodore Roosevelt memorial AND she wanted me to leave the car on with the keys in it because.. well.. WHAT IF THEY PLAYED THEM.. they still had not and she DID not want to MISS THEM...
I said " you know what.." .....NO... just NO....
you have them on your iPhone, iPod, and iPad...and you have their CD and you can look them up on youtube... so NO you are NOT waiting in the car "in case they play them"
SHAKE MY HEAD!!!!!!!! a lot.....
I felt like screaming you know what...
they have also not played
"call me maybe"
or
"tonight we are young"
or
"somebody that I used to know"
YOU KNOW WHY...because it is not the spring/summer of 2012 ANY MORE... and those songs are now old...we will hear them sometimes ...but not all the time... the radio station has moved on to new songs...that we hear all the time...
but I have learned from past experiences.. you don't reason with a crazy person.. or in this case a crazed fan..
I have heard One Direction like three times on the radio since this day... and none of those times were on 99.5...
but I have not heard them yet today.... so ...

Well, I don't have a teenager yet, but, I would have to say good for you for making her leave the house. Sounds like someone needs to make her do a lot more things, especially things that don't involve her obsessions. Doesn't sound like it was much fun on your part though, I might have been hurling threats of some sort that if I hear anything about "One Direction" one more time, I'll.....
