Our teens went to an all night teen thing sponsored by our church. Afterward one of their best friends, a sweet, attractive redhaired female came to our house. Our daughter has been sleeping all afternoon, but our son has been having a great time with their (his and his sister's) friend. It is almost nine p.m. here now, and our son just came over to where Colleen and I were sitting, and asked the question that is the title of this post.
After we rolled on the floor with laughter, I suggested to my son that perhaps he might want to consider a more subtle approach. However, as it turns out, I had just washed and dried those particular boxer shorts, so he happily pulled them out of the dryer and went to teach his friend how to play the guitar. Anyone want to guess what song he'll play on the guitar?

Could only happen to a parent.
No guesses on the song, but sure enjoy hearing of other teenagers who ask for strange things at strange times!!
Stairway to Heaven? :)
By the way, you're spot on in the next opst up about LD needing leadership. I don't think I've tried to give you advice about dealing with his tantrums, because I'm not there and I don't know what specifically works with him. I do know, though that the only hope of long-term success is for him to see you as The Leader, to be obeyed at all costs - both loving and solid as a rock (even if you sometimes don't feel much of either). It sounds like you already know that, though, which is why I have great hope for him, as long as he can stay with you and your family.
Julie,
