Fourteen

What I will remember about this day:

Your little sister badly wanted to buy you a fish named Chuck Norris.

You watched Avatar and declared it 'epic'.

You had a fit when we tried to make you eat dinner with the little kids.

You cleaned up in the money department 'cause you're saving up for a trip to Quebec.

You surprised your grandparents by ordering an iced cappucino for breakfast in February.

You told everyone you were making a film about a massacre for school.

You got underwear, and we all laughed.

I wrote on your facebook wall, "Happy Butt-day!"

And to top it all off, we got you a rainbow cake 'cause Costco doesn't carry robot cakes.

Every day you are still alive and breathing is another day I chalk down to my success as a mum.  When I had you, I was so flippin' anxious that I wouldn't water you enough or give you enough sunlight.  You are my biggest accomplishment, my dear.  I have a feeling that these teenage years are going to be a breeze!  I swear I can hear laughing.  Nah. Must be my imagination.
