14-Year-Old Demands to Be Treated Like an Adult, Mom Obliges

Way back in the early years of the 2000s, a great many of us were little terrors. We would eat, we would sleep, and we would consume copious amounts of mountain dew. That was it. That was being 13-14 years old. And oh man, was it good.

Those nights where we would stay up until 5 am at a sleepover powered by the insane amounts of caffeine provided by the aforementioned beverage.

Those early hours were filled with virtual bliss. Capture the flag on Blood Gulch and, a few years later, Slayer on Lockout and Zanzibar.

The brilliantly brutal Search and Destroy filled many a night when Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was released a few years after that.

Those times might have been good but, as early teens, we were not nearly as well functioning as we liked to think we were. I should probably be ashamed to admit to the fact that I didn't really know how to cook or do laundry until I moved out of my parent's house at 18.

Well, u/BuckTheF**kNaked's brother severely overestimated his abilities (as a lot of us would have) when he told his mother to "Stop treating me like a kid." He would soon live to regret those words but would walk away with a valuable lesson in life.

This one is a win for Mom.
