Teenage logic

When we moved into our new home I bought matching desks and chairs for my daughter and me to go in our very own home office. I am quite sure that I have never seen her use hers once. Homework is done on her bed, on the sofa, sitting on the floor . . even when we are in the office at the same time, she will be sitting on the floor rather than on her chair.

This afternoon her geography assignment appears to have got stuck to the sheepskin rug 🐑 When I ask for an explanation she just shrugs 🤷‍♀️ Occupational hazard of having to do homework, I guess 😐

They also sit on chairs with their backs on the seat and their legs up on the seat back.

You asked for an explanation for a teen's behavior? Wow, you're bold.

@joe438 Yes, we have novelty positions as well. If I tried sitting like that I would probably need assistance from the fire brigade to get up again 🙄

@SunshineGirl I see students in the lounges at college in positions that make my back ache just looking at them. The legs-over-the-back is pretty common.
