Re: Sweet 16 Party
It's a lot of fun....noisy, but a great chance to take some fun photo's.
My mother "won" a ride around Oxford in one, her insurance bloke, top guy, very high up basically fixed it so she would win the company prize when he found out my brother had been killed as something to take her mind off things. We both loved it.

My daughter was always into the thrift shop thing. Her and her friends got pretty competitive at it on who got the coolest stuff for least amount of money. She still liked getting new stuff, but she liked to be 'unique.' For prom one year, we went to a really cool shop and got her a vintage 50s dress...she looked like a modern Audrey Hepburn for a fraction of the cost.

Whatever I do she will be the only kid playing Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep at her party. When she first heard it she hated it but now she and her friends sing along to it as we drive around.

Re: Sweet 16 Party
It was always part of a joke when I was a kid
Whats the definition of Cruelty:
Walking into an Orphanage singing "where's your mama gone"...
which is how I first came to know about the song and listened to it...it really is a catchy tune...
and by the way...I think you've just confirmed it....

I also feel if I once had it on vinyl it's not stealing!

Re: Sweet 16 Party
The sweet 16 party she went to was last night, about 60 guests. On a sad note, a boy who went to school with all of them killed himself on thursday. There was a bowl to put notes for the family in at the party, and his stepbrother and two friends stopped by to say a few words. He was not a child you would ever expect to do this. So even if they are materialistic at times we should just love our kids and be open to listen to them no matter what they have to tell us.
She is worried about keeping it together at the viewing, so am I.

Just keep your eye on her.Her best friend at uni tried to commit suicide around this time last year...our daughter turned out to be a pillar of strength to her parents. They would call her in tears...at their wits end and she would comfort them and still does.
