Parents think teenagers operate on plant logic. "The sun is up, therefore you should be up!" Meanwhile, the teenager's sarcastic response hits with perfect biological accuracy. Unless you're equipped with chloroplasts and can convert sunlight into glucose (spoiler: humans can't), there's absolutely zero correlation between solar position and optimal wake time. Our circadian rhythms actually shift during adolescence, making teens naturally night owls. But sure, let's pretend humans are just malfunctioning houseplants who forgot how to photosynthesize. Next they'll be watering us to help us grow taller.
Sorry, I Left My Chloroplasts In My Other Body
