An eleven year old on the trip with me to Malaysia just celebrated her birthday today. Her mother planned a short celebration, complete with cake. My mother and another mother collaborated to get her a 4GB thumbdrive.

She's slightly spoilt, since her only other sibling is a sister ten years older.

I suppose, (considering only items from the parents), an early dinner with alcoholic ice cream for dessert and a pair of court shoes are just as good.

Hmm...
