Many of these resonated with me: my son eradicating the contents of a full fridge in one afternoon; my daughter getting a ring through her nose (I suspect, just to irritate dad).

I got a few more years to rid my head of such lies -- although I gotta say, I am already seeing what seems like very "teen-ish" behaviour.

Getting your teen to walk the dog, better yet feed it is up there with getting them to study for the SAT. Because, you know, sticking a measuring cup in a bag of dog food and pouring it in a bowl is exhausting.
