a purple plastic guitar and a microphone

You know you are the parent of a "tween" when your ringtone on your cell phone is the theme from Hannah Montana's "Best of Both Worlds." Grampy, we need you to build us a stage in the basement. Singing to "High School Musical" on the hearth,well, you know, we are "performas," we need to be on the "big" stage....who needs video games when you have a purple plastic guitar and a microphone!
