13 Going on 14
Yesterday after school, S1, whose birthday is coming up on Friday and has been asking me for the last few weeks what I'm buying him, informed me that "if you can't think of anything to buy me, you can just get me money ... or the Nightmare Before Christmas video game (which is $60)". I just had to laugh, because I really shouldn't be giving him any presents, let alone $60 ones! Last year I got him a birthday cookie, but this year he keeps reminding me that I've known him for the longest of anyone in the teen area, and he owes it to me. The trouble with getting him something, even some little thing, is that then all the kids will think I'm the present-buying librarian. He doesn't quite seem to understand that, bless his fuzzy little heart.

I hope you didn't actually buy anything for him. Birthday cookies are cool. He should be flattered you even got him a cookie!

Actually I did buy him something ... a small little Jack Skellington (the Nightmare before Christmas)necklace. I know I shouldn't have, but I'm a softie, what can I say? The sad thing is that while I bought a present for him, I didn't get one for my co-worker, whose birthday was the same day, or my father, whose birthday was the next day. At least I'm a good librarian, if not a good daughter or co-worker!
