Okay, starting at the top left hand corner and going in a clockwise direction:
1) Swimming Pool
2) Hannah Montana Bed Covers
3) New Swimmers, Size 7
4) Strawberry (fridge) Magnet*
5) Pink Playdough
6) Picture Frame
7) Laptop**
8 ) Care Bear (purple)
9) Piano Keyboard
10) Hannah Montana Punching Bag
11) Folder for Homework
* I have no idea what this is supposed to mean
** Not one of those kid ‘play’ laptops. Oh, no. “I want a real laptop like yours, mum. I’ll need one for school next year, you know. For homework.”
(Now if she were starting at a private school next year she could possibly be correct! And I’m thanking my stars she’s not. Just buying the uniforms is expensive enough, I’ve discovered!)
I found #10 the funniest. Riley already has a Spiderman punching bag, via the sea of brands that is all boys toys. So Keira wants to even the score. Fine.
“Why don’t you get a regular punching bag and just stick a picture of Hannah Montana on it?” I asked.
That got a ‘no.’
And somehow I think that her idea of a punching bag with Hannah Montana’s face on it, and mine, are two very different things.
For example, mine might have a big red dot in the middle with an arrow that says “Aim Here.”

That seems very similar to Annie’s list.
I seriously don’t get the attraction of Hannah Montana.
That is a very well organised and specific list. I wish my lot were that helpful. I am sick of asking and getting a shrug and a grunt in reply.
A Hannah Montana punching bag? I was thinking like you were!
hehehe awesome. I would punch that Hannah Montana bag too.
I will keep that list in mind…
If she needs laptop with the school (a lot of private schools it is not an option) you can usually buy it through the school at a cheaper price. You should have a list from them for what is required so you don’t get a huge shock with the cost of things
I love reading children’s lists to Santa – they can be funny and sentimental, and they can also be very illimuniating. I try to get a copy of them (my kids’ letters I mean) every year before they are mailed.
As for Hannah Montana – why would you want her punching bag EXCEPT to punch her, lol! Glad my girls have avoided that particular “hero”.
