My parents did the same thing growing up. assuming the wrong thing and then sticking to their story and not giving me a chance to talk. I understand where they are coming from but itd make more sense if they had given me the chance to talk. Explain to your mother that you and your friends have nick names for everything. and give some examples. explain to her yes it is stupid to nick name it that but its just something us kids do. explain to her you wouldnt get drunk stuff like that. let her know you wont nick name things that anymore [ Sweet_LiL_Angel's advice column | Ask Sweet_LiL_Angel A Question ]

How the hell is she supposed to know that "getting drunk" means going to Utah? She's assuming that you're actually drinking alcohol so until you point out that you give nicknames to things and that it's an inside joke with a friend, she's going to be mad at you and think that you're going down the wrong road. She's not psychic so you might wanna clear that up.
You shouldn't hate your parents though. They may be your enemies now but things change when you're not living with them anymore. It's probably best if you enjoy the time that you have left with them. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]
The_MoUsY_spell_checker answered Saturday October 10 2009, 12:02 am: Explain to your mother that it's an inside joke. Refer to other more innocent-sounding inside jokes to prove the point. If she doesn't know the inside joke and therefore takes it literally, she has reason to be concerned.
Also, if you don't actually drink, point that out and reassure her that there is no need to be worried.

There are a lot of things about my youth that I regret. One, the biggest one, was thinking I hated my mother. Take a step back and think of how your life would be if your parents weren't there for you. Your parents are the only people who will always be there, no matter what. If you didn't want her to freak out, you shouldn't have code named that "getting drunk". You don't see what's wrong with that? Obviously, lol you're young yet. You don't realize what you have until its gone. Cut your parents a break..because someday they won't be able to be there. And you WILL miss them and regret everything you ever did to upset them.
Good luck [ PurdyBurdy's advice column | Ask PurdyBurdy A Question ]
