Why I bother...disclaimers, zodiac and other teen fun...

Tonight was our turn to host "teen night". Due to school changes, some of the oldest's friends go to another school. As a result, they get together almost every week for this "teen night". Tonight, this was the situation...

(Before the pillow fight):

Me: If anyone gets hurt or anything gets broken, you will each share your portion of the bill...

Shortly thereafter, one kid goes down with possible broken arm. Good call on the disclaimer. Next time, there will be forms to sign upon entry.

Kid 1: And then, they like, have these things in the zodiac. So, because they don't have roosters, it's a cow...and like
Me: Um, I don't think there is a zodiac cow...? And I'm not getting how a rooster is a cow...
Kid 2: Yeah, I know, but like, they don't have a sparrow either...
Me: (Thinking what the $^&#?) Um, no, they don't have a sparrow...
Kid 1: Yeah, and like, a cow is like an Ox, and a sparrow isn't a rooster.

Yep, that is all true. Any further explanation needed, please ask a local teen. My head hurts and I give up.
