i asked bird what she wanted for christmas this year, she quickly replied with the following:

snowmobile, cash, laptop.

she got this look.

i let that slide for a week and then asked her again what she wants for christmas yesterday.

she replied with the following:

moped or IPAD.

this time she got this look.

“you do know you are not old enough to ride a moped by yourself right?” i asked the obviously 8-year-old.

the question did not faze her request.

where are the my little ponies? hello kitties? barbies?

bird has never asked for anything like this.

she came out of the womb a 20-year-old.

since she won’t budge, we have decided to give her this.

and she will get it when we all live in the same universe that will also give her a snowmobile, moped, cash, laptop, and IPAD.

in other words.

never.

bring on the kitties.
