Well, with all the birthdays this month, we have been going around and around as to what would be really special for each person.
We decided on a bike for Michael, and then realized that won't work at the new school, so we got him a good MP3 player with 1 Gig of memory, plays 500 songs.
He just came in to announce he had the perfect gift for Patrick, the kid who MIGHT make it to 13 this month... he has hit puberty with a vengeance... we hate his behavior right now. What a monster. Michael finally has had his fill.
He wants to give Patrick a box with an automatic boxing glove that will punch him in the face every time he is a jerk! His problem is figuring out how to get it to recoil fast enough to land the blows as fast as he thinks they will be needed!
God, I hope Shaun is observing and learning NOT to behave like this. With Michael, we just attributed it to medication adjustments. Patrick is med free, and is just plain miserable to be around. Shaun has asked to be shot if he gets like them!

Never a boring day there is it ;D ;D ;D
Just buy them all a punching bag and on opposing side put a picture of each of them.
Nah, too violent ;D

Trid, if you remember it was around this time last year I started my old siggy line about being a mother of a 12 yr old.."pray she makes it to 13", remember? Well, she did and now 14 is looming...so I'm sure Patrick will make it! Besides, you've already been through it with Michael and by the time Shaun comes around you'll be an old pro!
As far as the birthday present...that is just too funny! Made me think of the old Jack-in-the-box toys. Maybe Michael can find an old one somewhere and replace Jack with a glove! hehe

;D ;D ;D
All I can think is "Ah HA !! This will all teach Trid not to get too pally with Santa Claus in future!!" ;D ;D
Joking aside I think Michael is a GENIUS!! ... I love that idea for Patrick and am just WISHING I had thought about it a few years ago when Sam turned 13 because he SURE SURE SURE could have done with it right then!! ;D ;D ;D

Yes, Michael is quite capable of designing and building this thing... and that is a mixed blessing! And of course, Shaun has a few good ideas to add to it, like the automatic whip cream dispenser to refill the punch pad on each recoil...
