05.02.2005 :: Happy Birthday, Bethany!

All in one weekend, Bethany turns 17 and gets her drivers license! I may need a cocktail later on. To celebrate. Or whatever.

Can you guess what we got her?
Hmm?

Don't tell me, it's a knitted steering wheel cover in a lovely harvest green!

Happy Birthday Bethany and buckle up!

I guess none of the above. A guess a cell phone, so mom and dad can always track her...

Looks like a really small car? Tell her to have a Happy one!

My guess is that you got her an iPod. Does she have her permit yet, and is she asking for the car? Mine is....

Happy Birthday Bethany! Seventeen is a very cool age and you have the world as your oyster. Make lots of pearls, grrl!! Don't cause your Mom too much greif as we really like her.

Umm.... clothes! It's the teenage gift of choice around these parts.

Happy birthday, Bethany!

Happy B-Day Bethany! Wear your seatbelt and I'm guessing your ma is giving you a big stack of CDs....

???

Drivers license?
I think I'll have a drink on your behalf. Holy cow.
Wish Bethany a very happy birthday from me.

A very tiny car that fits in a box when not in use (see, I'm just very optomistic).

Did you get her, her 1st set of Addi Turbo and some luscious yarn? Oh wait, she doesn't knit, right? ;)

Hope you still get to drive your car from time to time. ;)

Claudia's not very creative. Doesn't she know that the KEYS to a car would fit in that package? Or a gas card with unlimited spending limits?

Now that iPod probably doesn't seem too expensive anymore, does it? ;-)

Happy Birthday, Bethany! And congratulations on getting that license. Oy, another crazy Massachusetts driver on the highways!

Tell her happy birthday. I remember getting my drivers license...Wow, I suddenly feel old. Anyway, I hope she has fun and that the cocktail helps :)

Looks like an iPod to me!

Posted by: jillz on 05.02.2005 AT 08:14 AM

Well, a car would've been thoughtful, but I don't think it fits in the package.

Posted by: claudia on 05.02.2005 AT 08:06 AM

You didn't knit her something out of that lovely yellow cotton already, did you? My first guess, based on your nervousness about her driving, would have been a crash helmet, but the box doesn't look big enough, so my guess is that there is an iPod somewhere in that pile of presents. Whatever it is, I hope that you and Bethany both survive her birthday and license with your sanity and sense of humor intact!
