Happy b-day to my teenaged (shudder) son

Feb 28, 2010 23:45

Kenneth turned 13 today, which makes me the parent of a teenager. Fortunately, he's been acting like a surly teenager for at least two years now (he's a chip off the ol' blockhead), so I'm already practiced and prepared.

We had a great day in Atlanta today. He had birthday money to spend, so we went to Outback Bikes, where I got his bike for Christmas, and he got some cool gear to improve both bike and safety (new pedals, gloves, a safety vest). Then we went to Decatur Cd and he grabbed two early Green Day cds (while I gronked the awesome Imaginational Anthem 3-cd set of primitive guitar from Tompkins Square Records, who did the awesome Fire in My Bones collection).

A cool day of wandering around Atlanta with the fambly. I suppose we could have done some Chucky Cheese sort of shit, but I figure this will be better for the longterm, if you get my drift. Cool day. Hope all have had a close approximation on their own terms of happiness and peace.
