Teenage Son to English dictionary entry # 1

What the teenage boy says: MOM! I need help with this homework!

What it means in English: MOM! Come in here so I can explain in only the vaguest terms what I need to do on this homework assignment. Then as you try to drag more information out of me,  I can make small mooing sounds like a tortured calf while shrugging my shoulders in feigned confusion until you get so annoyed and frustrated that you tell me exactly how to do the homework, thereby causing myself no extraneous effort by thinking.
