are covered in posters! Every square inch! Where the hell do they get the money for all those posters?? I didn't cover my room with posters when I was a kid, because I didn't have the money, and even if I did, I wouldn't have spent on freaking posters! |

Be careful, once he's 12 encouraging him to like anything can only have the opposite effect.
I don't think he's going to be that kind of kid. But my 14 year old daughter and my 7 year old son, I think they might be that type. More likely to rebel.
You never know, Em. My oldest was the kind of kid no one would ever think would be the type to stop listening to his parents, and yet, there was a stage when whatever we did, said or liked was wrong. Thankfully, that passed quickly. My younger son never really rebeled, but he's always been very particular and opinionated about his tastes and hardly ever tries things we recommend. My duaghter has been a rebel since she was able to talk, and while we argue with her a great deal, she listens (now) a good deal to her older brother, and ever since she stopped being friends with one girl, she's been a bit less problematic.
(For reference - they're aged 23, 18 and 15.) |

Yeah, and that's why they told you to be careful crossing busy roads.

Boys! Really.
As a kid I wasn't allowed to put posters up on the wall. Didn't have much wall space anyway. But we did each get our own cork bulletin boards. Mine I filled mostly with pictures of (okay, so I was a very unusual kid) the original star of "Dark Shadows"...
Jonathan Frid
as well as (like many, many girls my age)...
Davey Jones!
That Dark Shadows guy is just creepy.
The Monkees? I liked Peter Tork best myself. :)

As I recall they pretty much ran me $5 or $6 bucks apiece, so yes, I blew a fair amount of cash on the effort.

And he is doing something called a "Live Wax Museum" where the 5th Graders dress up like a person from history and learn a bunch about them and do a speech like the person and have a bunch of stuff on display. He chose John Lennon. Should be cute and fun.
I loved The Beatles when I was a kid, too. Until I found Elvis Costello. :)

Even I'm offended by that grammar, so Salopian is probably having a fit!

Talking of iconic 1980s posters, I wonder whether it worked out better for her than for him.
That reminds me of this one.

Okay, just to further our trip down memory lane, here's what my Farrah poster looked like.
Wearing her T-shirt would get you suspended from my school. They were afraid of us sliding (further) into moral depravity.

My dream is (or was) to have a room covered with maps. I am always buying maps. However, this was duplicated by a not wholly sympathetic character in We Need to Talk About Kevin, so it has been somewhat sullied.  |
