So yesterday I became Mum to a teenager. I'm pretty sure it was only a few years ago that I turned 13. *blinks* Here she is showing off her newly dyed birthday hair and one of her favourite gifts - a handicorn.*
This is what she asked for - a ukulele! She had a guitar block at music last term and wasn't fussed for the 6 string but loved the uke.
And the red thing clipped to the headstock? A tuner!! It was part of her gift from my brother and his wife. Unky G is a mad keen guitarist and loves to indulge and encourage so this was a no-brainer for him.
There was also model ponies and accessories, jammies, Lush smellies by the... er... bathful and a big swadge of cash! Unicorns featured heavily, too, my favourite being the "Unicorns are Jerks" colouring book. Heh heh.

And we were wakened this morning not by a shouting cat but the tinkly tones of a ukulele playing a 12 bar blues riff. Happy days!
* a handicorn: a unicorn hand puppet. Obviously!
Oh bliss! those teenage years! with a bit of luck she will bypass the sulks, and go on being just lovely! I could almost wish mine back at that stage too...
ReplyDeleteAh, happy birthday! Her hair looks fab! My J will be turning 13 in November, scary thought - not half as scary as the eldest turning 18 in September, though! 😉
ReplyDeleteWowser...the hair is awesome!:) Did the Chook get my email?:)

Oh saw something you'd both like.... Check out Hellygog on etsy! I met her today, stuff is even cooler in real life. Big hugs to the awesome chookie x
ReplyDeletePS you're never old enough to have a teenager.... dont believe you....
Chook's hair looks fab! You seriously don't look old enough to have a teenager. I think you'd still pass as an older sister :)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Chook!
