Although watching my kids become teenagers has been rewarding, I never know when they'll grow out of one phase and move on to something new.
Recently, I texted my son about Universal Orlando's Grinchmas celebration, which includes everything from a Broadway-quality musical to meet-and-greets with the Grinch himself.
As any mom of teens will tell you, the conversation could have gone one of two ways — a lack of interest or total excitement.
His reply? "OMG, the Grinch!"
