Teen: You NEVER listen to me!
You: Do you not understand what I am saying?
Teen: You just don’t understand!
You: I wish I had more time with my friends!
Teen: Leave me alone I just want to be with my friends!
You: Can’t you see I’m on the phone??

Teen: Ugh my parents are SO embarrassing!
You: I REALLY don’t want to get out of bed right now!
Teen: I REALLY don’t want to get out of bed ever!
You: You’re NOT wearing that out!
Teen: Are you seriously going to wear THAT?
You: Do NOT give me that look!
Teen: DON’T LOOK AT ME!!
You: KNOCK before you open the bedroom door!
Teen: Don’t you ever KNOCK???
You: I love you!
Teen: I love you! (OK, so this isn’t an utterance to regret, thankfully I could only think of nine…)
