Creative communication

Sometimes mums and teenagers have trouble communicating. My girl talks to me and I hear a torrent of Vicky Pollard type speech and when I speak to her, she hears 'blah blah blah', unless of course I am whispering something I don't want her to hear.

I was trying to explain to her how she could save money by having her Falcon sedan converted to gas. Frustrated, she said, 'Mum can you do me a power point presentation?' I ended up doing a picturegram and after she saw it, she said 'Now I get it, when can I do it?'
