gone awry

Found a note on family room floor.

I opened note.

Discovered it was a note from teenage girl.

Teenage girl was expressing sentiment to MY teenage boy.

(note: initial mother bear thoughts entered my head)

In a most loving and (what I thought was) humorous retort

I sketched some words of wisdom coming from speech bubbles attached to stick figures.

Things like "beware!" and "Lock Your Heart"

I also put multiple red circles with slashes through them over things that had been drawn or written in note.

Then I entered teenage boy cave, left note on bed and added noticeable blue arrows to a "proof" that was already hanging on boy-cave bulletin board.

Next morning I found note, proof and arrows crumpled up on boy cave's floor.

My question: Did you not find my response humorous?

Boy: NO.

Note to self: Next time you try to intervene with humor, think red circle with slash.
