The big 13
My twelve year old brother is turning 13 in July. 13. Geez. I still remember my mom going into labor with him. I remember her bringing him home from the hospital. I marveled over how tiny and ugly he was. Heh. He had colic and was a very hard to comfort baby, and I remember many late summer nights, laying on the sofa with him, watching television and listening to music, while my mom got some much needed sleep.
Now, my baby brother is growing up. It’s depressing and exciting at the same time.
Blech. I need to start thinking of birthday presents. He is really into Club Penguin, Harry Potter, dinosaurs, astronomy and sports. The sports thing is a bit of a peer pressure type thing, I think, but that doesn’t stop him from wanting Michael Jordan clothing just because his friends do. *eyeroll*
My brother also loves video games, but video games can make pricey birthday presents. Besides, I have done the video-game-as-a-present thing many times. I want to find something more original. Ideas, anyone?
