Ryo looked at Bikky and sighed, shaking his head.

“Look at you! You’re growing like a weed! I swear you’ve grown another inch overnight. It’s no good; you need new clothes.”

Bikky groaned theatrically.

“Aw, c’mon Ryo, please don’t drag me out shopping! I was gonna go skating with Carol, it’s all planned!”

“If you’re not with me, then how do I know what to buy? I could come back with things that aren’t cool and don’t fit,” Ryo replied reasonably. “If we leave now, we’ll probably be home by lunchtime.”

“Oh man, this really sucks! I hate my life!”

The End

Ah, teens! They're never satisfied. In french, we call it "l'âge ingrat" (awkward age), but "ingrat" also means "ungrateful". A double sense which can't be more appropriate. :D

That's exactly true, I can remember my sister going on about her two when they were fashion conscious teens. I kind of missed that stage, I was never fashionable anyway, lol, and at 16 I was working full time and buying my own clothes anyway.

Bikky will go shopping, complain all the time, but then tell Carol about all the cool clothes Ryo bought him and how he'll be so in style, lol!

Thank you!

The joys of trying to get an adolescent boy to go shopping.

Ryo's a master at dealing with the boys in his life. If he's not persuading Bikky to do something he doesn't want to, he's talking Dee into helping get the paperwork done. No rest for poor Ryo!

Thank you!

Poor Bikky! Being a kid sucks. You constantly need to get new clothes and aren't even interested in shopping yet. And a few years later, when you stopped growing, you want at least five new t-shirts and three new jeans every month but your parents aren't buying such a pile of clothes for you anymore. Story of my life xD

It really is unfair, isn't it? Just when you get interested in clothes, you stop outgrowing them so you can't justify wanting new ones.

Bikky wants to look cool, but he hates the hassle of shopping. He can't win!

Thank you!

Poor ryo.

Kids, especially young boys, do NOT like shopping for clothes. Ryo is stubborn though. Bikky will go shopping, get new clothes and be grateful. He is really, he knows how lucky he was that Ryo took him in, and he does love Ryo. Bikky is basically a good kid, but he's not had a good upbringing until now so he's a bit rough around the edges. He'll turn out okay.
