My 14 year old DD has always had a habit of saying inappropriate things but recently she has got worse. It is impossible to have a conversation with her without her making a smart arse comment that is totally unrelated to the conversation. For example we might be talking to her about her options, and she will suddenly reply with 'I'm going to study poo, and you should get a funny hat, it would suit you'. That kind of thing.
She also butts in all the time in conversations between my DH and I, which I wouldn't mind if she was contributing to the conversation, but again it is always these inappropriate comments. She can't be serious about anything, has to turn it into a joke, but it's not a funny joke at all.
I have had several phone calls from her schoolteachers over the past year or so, saying she has been messing around in lessons, and just making smart comments all the time, but I haven't had a call now for about 3 months, so I'm gathering she is working better at school now.
It is just so frustrating; she is a bright girl, and lovely in so many ways, but she just can't seem to communicate without smart comments.
