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...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

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.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

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

Didn't notice PS 1 - my mind said PS4
That would have been so cool!

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  ).
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 ), 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"...

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. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

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.

Wow! Tough parenting! And look at the name they gave you, too! Bastards!

Some examples of Thomas Beecham's legendary, ascerbic wit. Apologies if you already know some (or most) of them.
When he thought his female cello soloist was playing less than adequately, he stopped the orchestra and declared: "Madam, you have between your legs an instrument capable of giving pleasure to thousands, and all you can do is scratch it!"
Once he described the sound of the harpsichord as "two skeletons copulating on a tin roof".
"The British may not like music, but they absolutely love the noise it makes".
"There are two golden rules for an orchestra: start together and finish together. The public doesn't give a damn what goes on in between."
“Brass bands are all very well in their place – outdoors and several miles away.”
To a musician playing the tuba who made a deep shake on the wrong note: “Thank you, and now would you pull the chain?”
During a stage production of which he was not much of a fan, a live horse had a walk-on part. As it was led onto the stage, the horse defecated, “Gentlemen, that horse is not only an actor, it is also a critic.”
Asked his opinion of a university setting up a chair of musical criticism, “If there is to be a chair for critics, I think it had better be an electric chair.”
Asked if he had ever conducted any Stockhausen, he said, "No, but I once trod in some."
Of Vaughan Williams' Pastoral Symphony: "A city life for me!"
Of Edward Elgar's 1st symphony: "The musical equivalent of the towers of St Pancras Station."
"No operatic star has yet died soon enough for me."
He was once visited in his dressing room after a concert by an attractive young lady admirer. "Sir Thomas" she asked, "I've been a fan of yours for years. I wonder — would you be so kind as to consider being the godfather of my child". "Madam" he replied, "I'd be delighted. But... why bring God into it?"
