DD turned 13 last week. I'm now officially the mother of a TEENAGED GIRL
Her aunt gave her a keyboard. She's loving it-I'm sure the neighbors are not.

she's already memorized about 1/2 the songs in the book that came with the keyboard.

Her dad gave her a pair of Hermit Crabs. Because you know, she wanted them. I had told her "maybe", I wasnt' quite ready-but they're pretty cool pets. The cats sit and watch them, Grace got pinched once and now keeps her distance. Meowlth will lay by the aquarium and put his paw agaisnt the side-the bigger crab-named Mr. Crabs (the other one is Spongebob)will sit and make movements against his side or he will just ignore the cat. We had them out on a blanket today, Meowlth was sitting by me-the crabs kept crawling right to him. Meowlth got up and left.
