What crazy things have your kids done?

When my youngest son was 10, he had come home from school one day and went straight upstairs. After a few minutes, he came down and said dad, I have something to tell you. I said, ok, lay it on me! He says, I traded one of my Bakugons for a laptop computer! I said, you did what??? lol. Some kid in school actually brought his parents laptop computer to school to trade for my son’s Bakugon! I couldn’t believe it!
We took the computer back up to the school and explained what had happened. The Assistant Principal laughed and said well, your son sure came out better on that trade! 🤣

An early lesson in the ups and downs of trading!

She hasn't actually done it yet, but since she was 12 I've been overhearing my daughter planning to go to Butlin's holiday camp in Minehead with either her cousin or one of her friends. It would take them ages to get there by bus and I'm sure they wouldn't accept a booking from a minor anyhow, but I've been on alert for two years now 😊 I think it's only because her friends don't share her enthusiasm for this 1970s holiday camp that the plan hasn't come to fruition yet 😅

@SunshineGirl You’re probably right, she either can’t find someone that wants to go with her or wouldn’t be allowed to go. Would you arrange her transportation and let her go if she did? How long is this camp?

@TravisTx If she asked me we'd find a way of making it happen 🙂

It's a complex of pretty basic holiday accommodation at a faded seaside resort. They do live entertainment and other activities, but not the most glamorous place, lol. I should probably be relieved that she isn't trying to do the usual teenage thing of nightclubbing in Ibiza 🤣

@SunshineGirl a summer camp would definitely be much better than night clubbing at her age. Agreed! 😂
