Translator Wanted

   Every day that passes I find that my teenager and I are worlds apart.  She and I can't seem to communicate.  She takes what I tell her the wrong way and apparantely I have no clue what she is saying.   I simply do not get her.  Her logic and way of thinking seem foreign and irrational to me.  Sadly,  I am pretty sure the feeling is mutual.  I am just so relieved that she is a GOOD girl.  Opinionated and jaded but good nonetheless.   If only there were some kind of manual or translator device.  She said blah, blah, blah, and she means.....  It sure would make things easier.
