My teen says "yes" through her expression of mirth, disgust, and dismay.

through her expression of mirth, disgust, and dismay

Ask her if she's aware that her teenage ennui and angst cause early wrinkles, poor muscle definition, and weight gain (it doesn't necessarily, but I am an agent of chaos).

Then, tell her the way she processes emotions is basic, and her perpetual sneer is making her acne problem worse (also, not true, necessarily).

Enjoy popcorn as you drive her to therapy.

I'm not saying this is moral. But as a childless 40 year old uncle to teenage nieces and nephews with attitude problems, in the words of Michael Jordan, "Fuck them kids."
