It's The BoyTM's dozenth birthday today. His list of requested presents was long and expensive! He's spoiled rotten (well, what the heck!) but we kinda sorta didn't want to give in to getting him everything he wanted... So this morning he opened his pressies - soccer ball, dressing gown, Minecraft shirt, couple of small toys, chocolate-making kit and my old iPhone. Seemed quite happy although I think secretly disappointed not to get anything big (the iPhone would have been big, but as it was Dad's 2nd hand one...) Anyhow - not a word of complaint, all happy. I can't wait until he gets home from school and finds we bought him an XBox One :) ** For those who think we are just plain cruel teasing him like that - yep! You got us! But our excuse is it would have been more cruel to say "Here's your XBox - now time for school!")

Some nostalgia - I got my C64 as a 12th birthday present (my first own computer) and got a day off too...

Reminds me a bit of that youtube video where some kid thought he got an xbox for christmas, but it was just the box filled with clothes or something like that :laugh:

My 12th birthday was harmless and did not give my parents much opportunity to tease me like that. That came one year later, when I suddently needed a usable ASCII keyboard (still got it), a 300 baud terminal (long dead, unfortunately), a video monitor (still working!) and, most important, more RAM (still working). My poor parents did not understand a word.

Kids prefer the PlayStation, though, so you should have got him a PS One.

I think I got a brand new 21-gears bike on my 12th birthday, but I'm not sure... Maybe I just got that because I went to high school (yes, I was/am a spoiled brat too :D ). To be fair, I used that bike to go to school every day, which was about 24 km a day, so it did get a lot of use. A few years later I got a new bike with 24 gears (which got stolen :sigh: ), after which I got another bike. And two years ago on my 26th birthday I got yet another bike (and currently riding 26 km a day). Being a spoiled brat is great, but make sure they keep appreciating what they get and got. There's just one thing worse than a spoiled brat, which is an unthankful spoiled brat ;)

I remember my 12th birthday, scrabbling at the box, trying to get it open, saying to my parents "Come on guys, let me out"...

Yeah, but I couldn't make a joke out of that -- sony has already done it to death.

If you were going for cruel teasing, you'd wait until just before departing for an special trip to the skate park before letting him find out about his extra present. :-\

my parents once bought me for my birthday a pen holder - they made sure to leave the price tag on: £1 When I got home from school that evening I got to open another present, a beautifully written letter from my father saying (to cut a long story short) "I keep my promises, next year keep yours" I had promised my parents I would clean my room when asked - under the threat of getting a crap birthday present if I didn't.
