Perhaps a series f iPhne birthday candids t cmpete the picture:

Kid surveys treats frm big bday grab-bag as kitty gives us the evi-eye

Presenting Pptarts, rdinariy a frbidden fruit

And ast but nt east, "the beef stick f wisdm" brandished as a weapn, the way wisdm shud be

Party this afternn incudes skating with friends, then dinner with grandparents

And maybe a trip t the Appe Stre is in rder, eh?

Happy Birthday Jnah! We ♥ yu even bigger than nine!

Thanks for sharing a great moment, wonderful !

Abe arrived at 12 years on his birthday a few months past. I've never been one to shelter or stifle him in a class distinction exclusive to children.

This includes satisfying his once, somewhat curious ideas about drinking by way of a fine hops beverage on very rare occasion.

Let me complete this picture somewhat. We happen to live in "Dry county" Arkansas, an area of 5 contiguous counties who now share one of the longest official runs of prohibition. You may recall that this state adopted prohibition ahead of the federal governments constitutional debacle.
Also not only do I not drink with any regularity but don't keep it in the house. This essentially means that I would have to drive at least 66 miles round trip in order to visit a packaged liquor store.

Anyway, back to the madness of my parenting method. I'm quite aware of the personal problems substance abuse causes,and that often these experiences begin at a very early age and are hidden as forbidden territory between parents and growing children entering an adult driven world.
That's just the scenario I hope to avoid by at least appearing open to exploring some things my kid will encounter.
So when the request comes up to maybe get a couple beers or near-beers for the birthday celebration or the 4th of July I don't bat an eye.
I found however that the near-beers are just as nice as the 12 pack micro-brew sampler we found on making the run to the state line before his last birthday. Yeah we do pizza, homemade pineapple upside down cake and presents as well,so the couple beers for Abe, that turned into 3 that were perhaps drunk to fast, weren't even noticed by me until he begins vomiting into a waste basket. I have to admit I now can chuckle at the slapstick of the moment ,but at the time it was more like "Oh Crap".
He wasn't violently sick just a little upset and needing things to run their course.

I didn't take a picture I could share with all of you, but the next day this reformed 'tween' swore off the booze saying "I don't want to drink anymore".

If I'm able I wishto be a parent whose kid isn't afraid to be be curious. A parent whose kid isn't afraid he'll find me me not making an effort to share, extend acceptance, my own experience, a healthy dose of understanding and liberality.

Now here is a shoe-in for the list of the year's best gaming-related clothing : Adidas has brought back its ZX 5 hundred running shoe, and, since it originally hails from the '80s, the gaming electrified design and coloring is an easy choice ... Right? The kicks won't be the coolest part of the deal, either ; they come packaged with a combination bracelet/USB flashdrive containing ZX Runner, a computer game based primarily on ... The shoe itself.

GameCulture writes that the game stars a personality named'DJ Zed' who, according to Adidas, has 5 minutes to'run, moon-walk, climb walls, avoid some dodgy-looking bullies, collect power-ups, and pull off loony rooftop-to-rooftop stunts' in order to get on-stage before his set starts. It's suitably retro -- see for yourself in the video we've included after the breakdance.
