There are apparently other things that you can do on holidays besides relax or shop or get beautiful or just let go of all care.
You can fight with a teenager about the school work that should only take about an hour a day to keep on top of.
In fact, if you get a teenager in the right phase, you can argue about 20 minutes of school work for nearly the whole day.
The arguments varied from I have done everything through its all stupid to its all your fault that I will fail everything by taking this holiday now.
To add interest, the first baulk at doing what was required resulted in no phone availability until at least 20 minutes was achieved, and it proved to me that time travel is possible because I saw a modern version of my own teenage strops.
Mum was right then too.
Once we were over that hump, had food in our stomachs and equilibrium reached, we were playing pool and Paris noted how, with the white ball in one hand and cue in the other, she was like Elsa (in Frozen) when she was coronated.
Coronated didn't sound right, so we went to the internet to see what we could find.
Amongst things found was proof in the adage that you should never trust the internet.

I barely did any homework in Primary school because mostly we were told to finish up whatever we hadn't finished in class, and since I always finished, I had nothing to do at home, apart from reading ahead in most of the books. So when I got to High School and had ZERO study habits I was really in deep water without a canoe.
I think that is definitely a factor in Paris's issues - that and getting away with whatever may be possible until we hit the pointy end.
That pronunciation seems like AI doing its worst. Crowned is much easier to say!
I've never heard coronated pronounced that way! I feel for you with the teenager woes. Like you, my older daughter has a big gap between her oldest and the younger two. She's now on her second round of teenagers and i feel for her, as well.
Exactly what I was expecting Boud! Although I am currently geolocated in a different version of English region, so all bets are off.
Kelly, it does seem as if the ai world is either messing with us or at least a decade further away from total world domination than they would lead us to believe.
I smiled (well laughed actually) when my children used to ‘complain’ about their teenagers.
I never heard the word coronated until recently - i know it’s a really old word but no one I knew used it. A monarch was always crowned
Indeed - and that was what I was expecting, not - that!
