Your Questions About Ladybug Birthday

Do you think my mom is giving me the right punisment?.?

okay so my brother loves bugs and i said hey why don’t we make a sort of fun documentary and film each bug you find then put it together as one big movie on the computer, he likes it when my dad films him finding bugs but not me?. anyway my birthday was 15 days ago and i got a Professional camera, the lovely fuji finepix s1730. im 13 btw. anyway my brother found some kind of ladybug-catterpillar type-thing, and so i filmed it and i tried asking him questions about it on the video, he’s 9 btw and when i said that to him he screamed, so i gave him a little nudge in the ribs to get him going so he screamed and started crying like someone had died, i mean if i did that to my little 3-year-old cousin they wouldn’t have cried, even my dad sometimes calls him a baby anyway my mom came rushing out into the garden, snatched my camera off me and is keeping it for a whole week.
is this fair?
if not what can I do to show her this is the wrong punishment?

I need a halloween costume that fits my criteria…?

I’m looking for a halloween costume for a sixteen-year old that isn’t too skanky, (nothing with “sexy” in the name,) something that won’t hide my face or too much of my body, something that is definetly pretty. I’m thinking about going as a ladybug or a (haha) pregnant woman. This is for a highschool halloween dance. The day of the dance is my sixteenth birthday. Maybe something that ties in with that? I can make it, and go out and buy certain pieces. Any ideas?

Is friends with benefits dating?

I have been friends with one of my closest friends for over a year now. After about 6 months of being friends, we started sleeping together. We’ve never discussed titles, but lately he’s been wanting to see me all the time, even if its not for sex. He’s introduced me to his best friends, and we all hang out sometimes. When we do, he’ll be cute with me, hold my hand, and kiss me in front of them, which is unusual for him because he isn’t very affectionate with other people, it takes him a while to warm up. He doesn’t introduce me as his girlfriend either though, so I’m just wondering if this friends with benefits, casual dating, what?

I should add that I very much doubt he’s seeing other people, considering we’re texting or on the phone everyday, all day. Literally, our cell bills are beyond ridiculous.

In addition, he asked that I spend the entire day of my birthday celebrating with him. The entire. day. And usually he’ll say cute things like “my princess or my ladybug“
