The poetes has the reader hear all the recurrent questions a teenager is adressed to by parents and asks the reader if he/she can recognise some phrases.

There follow a coment on parents behaviour:

Once mother remind his/her children it´s late and they have to go to school and the teenager´s reactions. He/She feels like remaining in bed because he/she considers there is still time and there is no need to hurry up. The extract ends with a later farther consideration:

Teenagers do not seem to have any sense of time. They don´t remember they have to get washed, cammed and ready to go out.

They generally can see only the worst part of it, just there where you can find a zit!

There face is never okey, they look fat and there is always a zit on there adolescens face.
