Betsy's Trinket

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.
