Birthdays

In my side of the family, birthdays tend to run together.

My Mom, my two sisters, and I all have our birthdays within a month of each other.

I've carried on that tradition with my middle daughter, Chickie. It makes for a chaotic two days.

Of course, it starts much earlier, like about two weeks earlier.

Below is a text message conversation between Chickie (now 14, as of yesterday) and Moogie (aka "Moooooom!")


Text messaging with Chickie the other morning:


Me: Good morning sunshine! Happy Wednesday. We are half way there!
Her: Yay! Only 10 more days to go!
Me: I still don't have your list. :)
Her: Just an IPOD, and a card.
Me: But what kind? Color pref? Etc.
Her: Blue :)
Me: Yes, blue. But what is the name of the IPOD you want?
Her: Ipod nano, 3rd generation.
Me: Oh, and blue. :)
Her: Yep
Me: Ok, Blue Shuffle, got it.
Her: No. Ipod NANO 3RD GENERATION.
Me: What's that?
Her: What i want for my birthday!
Me: What do you want?
Her: Omg. a blue ipod nano, 3rd generation.
Me: What's that?
Her: Look it up.
Me: Look what up?

For some reason, she wouldn't answer my text messages any more. I wonder why?

So, of course, my bad self had to get in on this. I kept making references to "Shuffle, 2nd Generation, Red" which of course was hidden somewhere in the house (it wasn't).

Drove her freakin' nuts for seven (7) looooong days.

Heh....

What I'm afraid of is that what goes around, comes around.

Today is MY birthday.

I gotta wonder what Chickie has in mind for Me......
