Happy Birthday Sweetie
Today is my baby’s 13th birthday? Happpy Birthday! We received your note under our bedroom door yesterday with your list of do’s and don’ts for your birthday.
To Mom and Dad:
#1. Buy the Wii Fit game. We could find it NO WHERE! So if your kids want this I suggest you either go on line or stand in a line to get it cause it is the game of the season. We did on line ordering. It will be here in a few days. Life wil be torture until it arrives. If we were good parents we would have known she wanted this and gotten it sooner so she would have had in on her real birthday. We get an F in parenting – again.
#2. Surprise me with presents so I can open them and be surprised. I can do that.
#3. Don’t buy anything without me. That contradicts #2. So now I can’t do that.
#4. If you do buy anything without me and you think it is cute or adorable DON”T buy it cause it isn’t. You have bad taste, you don’t know what kids like cause you are too old. And that little fact isn’t going to change and just makes me want to buy you some cute little Gap cloths with a matching hat and socks.
#5. Buy things from Ambercrombie – the adult store not the kids store. Ok I went in there and felt like I was 96 years old. Plus, the perfume made my eyes water and made me sneeze. Everything is so small and tiny in there. I saw a cute sweater that I liked and even in the large size is was so tiny my arms looked like sauages in too tight a casing. I probably deserved the odd looks I got from the waif sales girl when I went into the dressing room. They really should post an age limit in those stores for those of us who don’t know any better and still think we are young.
#6. Order the sneakers I designed at All Star. I got an F on this task as well as I couldn’t figure out how to do it. It is a very cool thing as you get to desgin your high top sneaker from scatch. You really should check this one out.
So,we got through another birthday and we have kept you safe, happy and healthy for another year. We love you! You are smart, pretty and kind and sweet. We love you so much.
PS.You are now officially a teenager but you still can’t get a double pierce in your ears. Why? Cause I said so, that’s why and I am still your mother and you are still my baby!
