Today is a very important day. Mini-somnambulist II turns 10! In the trading world this is called a change of big figure...
We are having a lot of fun on the road trip with plenty of time on our hands to chat about weighty issues, such as hopes, plans and aspirations. Despite exercising my bestest "expectation management" skills, the mini-somnambulists have already decided how we should best utilise the millions they think we are going to make from the success of Project Dennis. Oh, to be 10 again, when thought processes were so simple: "Dad is going to start a new business with uncle orangepeel. Cool! What shall wespend all the money on?"
The problem for coveting material things is that when you finally get them in your grasp they seem to lose their lustre somehow. Last year, mini-somnambulist II's Holy Whale, and the only thing that would possibly do, was an electric guitar. Three lessons later it was gathering dust in the cupboard :-)
Ah well, we're on holiday, so no harm in a bit of daydreaming. Wonder what mini-somnambulist II is getting for his birthday this year...

ZzzzZZzzzz.. mmmmm..bbrbrbllblbleeerrrr hmmm?
Gin Palace? Where?
Hmmm three lessons then dust accumulation in a cupboard? Wonder where he inherited that behaviour from? How is the golf swingy practice thingy machine you expensively acquired doing anyway? Has it vanished beneath that thick carpet of dust its been gathering since its ONE usage yet? Do as I say not as I do eh, bloody parents...
HAHAHA! I know the syndrome well. However, my younger son did use his guitar, very well indeed - and the set of drums we allowed him. ("Yes, Mum and Dad, I PROMISE I will always use the practice pads and ask before practising, especially between the hours of 10pm and 10am .." HA!!)
Happy birthday Mini-somnambulist! I'm sure you'll get something delightful! ;)
*Psst! Somnambulist!! Don't get him drums!!!
