At 16, my son is hardly "mini" any more ... more of the Mustachian way is coming out in him. I'm calling him Ensign Peachfuzz.
We were coming home from a road trip with some friends. As happens, we had a gas stop, and everyone headed into the convenience store to use the restrooms, some bought snacks. [Not me or the Ensign.] Ensign P decided to amuse himself by calculating which food item in the store had the most calories for the least money. I followed him, pointing out foods he might have overlooked.
The cheapest turned out to be one of the candies, I forget which. It was even cheaper, per calorie, than cooking oil! We were both a bit surprised that sugar is cheaper than fat, even cheap fat. I think we were both a little grossed out.

The Ensign is finally old enough to have a debit card for his credit union account. As a junior in high school, he gets off campus privileges; the teens often go out to lunch, he may start dating ... plastic money is useful. We had a discussion about how much money he should get every month as "allowance". I figured around $50, enough to have some fun but not enough to be wasteful. I said nothing and waited for his suggestion ... "Mom, is $20 a month too much?"
Anyone else have any teen Mustache stories?
