Teenagers

Sleeps till noon or later every single day
communicates in shrugs, mime "talk"
grunts, facial expressions and sarcasm.

Disagreeable to any parental suggestions 
Disagreeable to disagree with peach pie
and ice cream on a hot day in July

Disagreeable with hot chocolate in January's blizzard
