Fellow Queens!   

You have less than a week to get that holiday shopping done for the boys. No worries, I am here to help with my annual gift picks. 

But before we dive into that, here is an early holiday gift for you! WE HAVE A NEW MESSAGE BOARD! Yep, it is up, running and waiting for you. Click here to jump in!

Now, for your teen - A Car. Haaaaa haaaaa haaaaa! That was funny, wasn’t it. I was just giving you a big laugh with that one.

You know that stage when all you hear out of your sons are sounds that will drive you nuts.  Trumpeting farts, real or not, the old cranking arm with the hand under the armpit trick and of course the constant gun noises - bewww bewww bewwww! You know they will want this - The Annoying Sounds Machine - with recordings of a mosquito buzzing, a cell phone ringing, a beeper going off, water dripping, crickets chirping, a telephone off-the-hook sound and a cat''s meow. The best part is that the manufacturer promises that ‘The sounds penetrate through walls and reach up to 100 feet away!’ 

The I-can-be-grosser-than-you set will enjoy this one. The Nose Pencil Sharpener Watch them imitate the Joker in The Dark Knight. “I’m gonna make this pencil disappear.”

Your teen is irascible, might as well roll with it, or roll this - The Sarcastic 8 Ball.  My favorite answer is, “Ask me if I care.” 

There’s also Toilet Bowl Lip Balm, no kidding. And why not Nunzilla, a wind up nun that shoots sparks out of her mouth. 

I’ve always said that my kids will need therapy because of their crazy mother. I just want them to start at age 21 so they pay for it. But in the meantime they can always talk to The Sigmund Freud Action Figure.

And finally here’s a gift for you. Instead of saying, “Duh.” every time they do something silly (a la boy) wind this one up and put it in front of them. Its the If I Only Had a Brain Music Box. A bit cruel, but you’ll get your point across. 

Then again there’s always socks and underwear.

Reign On!
Queen Linda
