There was a card.
There was an oscar winning performance of fake surprise.
There was some supermodel style posing.
There was a tiny bit of actual surprise.
There was a cake baked.
There was dinner out.
There were candles lit.
There were candles blown …
out.
There was cake cut ...
and eaten.
There was seriousness.
And not so seriousness.
And then there was the realisation that someone will be an adult in twelve months time!
Then he'll be 19 then 20 then 21 and there'll be drinkin' and wimmin and more drinkin' to get over the wimmin....and they bugger off and leave home but they come back eventually! xx Looks like he had a great timexx
ReplyDeleteYep … they probably come back at around the time they want you to start babysitting their kids ;0)

So a very good day, then - no need to scream, Jo! Happy birthday to the almost-adult Master 17. xxx
ReplyDeleteI can't help it … it's just all soooo horrifying ;0)

A great day was had then! Did you make the cake? Its a marvel! x
ReplyDeleteI sure did … I asked him what he wanted and it was "something from scratch" … so the lazy option of a packet cake went out the window ;0)

Happy Birthday to him! Loved the card. What is it about boys and things like that? My son bought his nephew, my youngest grandson, something similar for his ninth birthday recently. A guide to farts. From Kmart. It went up and down the table at pizzeria here and all the grandkids nearly fell off their chairs laughing.
ReplyDeleteBoys sure do love farts ;0)

Happy birthday to him!!! Lads get older but never really grow up, sorry!! Nice cake, mmmmmmmmmmm!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL … that's encouraging ;0)

LOL-it is a bit scary. Mine is an adult now and mostly I just keep thinking, OMG I'm the mother of an adult. I'm coming over for cake! It looks awfully good and I'm counting on M17 to not have eaten it all yet. I Love your painting and do hope that will be framed and displayed somewhere!

ReplyDeleteLovely photos! I like the candles blown out one :-) a lovely memory. Also your scream painting...Ahhh! In a good way. I'm still getting over the 12th birthday. Teenage next year, although puberty already started...what? We are so slow to keep up, us Mums. Maybe we need the cake more than them! XO JJ
ReplyDeletePS. I keep meaning to tell you, every time I see your blog address I think it says "angel shavered hair". Totally cool name!
