I saw The Boy going to his car with a pair of scissors last week and wondered what on earth that was all about.
He was in and out in a matter of moments and so I had to ask:
Me: What were you doing in there?
The Boy: Oh! I was taking something off my car ornament.
Me: Your car ornament?
The Boy: Yeah. You haven't seen it yet?
Of course he's going to get a car ornament for the vehicle. I drove the car for years and never gave it a name. The Boy gets use of it and within a week she was christened "Betsy" and now she's wearing jewelry.
As I was walking around to the front of the vehicle to take a gander, I wondered what on earth could have passed muster enough to bedeck Betsy.
Batman?
Superman?
Green Latern?
Darth Vader?
No.
Not for my kid. He's more likely to choose a Sheldon Cooper bobble head. Or some obscure Skyrim character. A Marine action figure. Obama.
Or I could see him going for the complete cheese factor and buying fuzzy dice. Or the Hawaiian hula wiggle girl.
A blow up doll?
Surely not.
Oh God help me! It IS. He bought a BLOW UP DOLL for his car. OMG, I'm horrified....
Then I got to the front of the car:
And I take a closer look:
That's right, folks.
Twilight Sparkle.
I just look at him...
The Boy: WHAT?
And I reach for my phone...
The Boy: Oh God, you're taking pictures? This is going on the blog, isn't it?
Me: Ya think? ->

Either his girlfriend gave it to him or there is some weird teenage significance to twilight sparkle these days. :-)

Ladies, I'm afraid I might have a budding Hispter-wanna-be on my hands.
Wish me luck.
Those ponies are cool with a lot of people. He's a my little brony guy now.
He doing the Schott thing - naming your car and hanging a decoration. Mom
