What does a young boy want more than anything for his birthday? Steak for breakfast while playing a video game. He can't even take his eyes off the game to enjoy his steak. Oh the rules we broke on that day.
After a family lunch (at his favorite pizza place of course) Levi and I hung out and I basked in the idea that it won't be long before he won't want to spend his birthday hanging out with his dad. Just as I was feeling good about myself he left to play, after meeting a friend on the walk back from lunch. Sigh. I suppose I can find another way to lounge on that 65 degree Winter day. Then a voice from college game day football broadcasts: Not so fast! Here comes Levi, playtime with friends is over so I'm up.
What does a young boy want second most on his birthday? A loaded Malibu Jacks card. Some kind of birthday magic was in the air, after Levi scored a 500, 500 and 1,000 ticket win on three individual plays. At that rate the stuffed animal is almost available at the actual market value. We even played one of the games not for tickets but just for fun, he won 7-6.
Hard to imagine that it's been a decade since Levi and I celebrated his first birthday. Who has aged more?
