Kid Guitars

So what will it be next?  Every time I turn around it seems that one of my kids wants or “needs” something.  His definition of “need” and” want” tends to vary somewhat from mine however!  Last year I bought him an iphone because he says he “really” needed it for school and to keep up with his friends.  He felt that an iphone served many purposes at once and presented a good argument that it was more economical in the long run.  Does he have me wrapped around his little finger or what?

Now as he faces his thirteenth birthday he wants an electric guitar more than ever.  He has been studying the guitar for some time now and says that he sees himself playing in a band some day.  So now his dear old Dad has to be the one to get the crazy guitar so his dream can come true.  I must have “sucker” written across my forehead because my kids give me such convincing arguments that I feel I cannot say no.  So if I can find a good deal for an amateur guitar online then I’m game, if not then my son will just have to wait, c’est la vie!
