Years ago, on April 3rd, God gave a gift to my Grandma and Grandpa. That gift was my Dad.
Today’s my Daddy’s birthday (I won’t tell you how old he is, I’m not sure he would like that). I woke up to multiple tappings on my bedroom door. That was the Mall Diva telling me to get up so we could run downstairs and present the presents to Dad.
Mall Diva’s gifts:
Two video games (Justice League Heroes, Sonic Heroes)
My gifts:
A box of Mike and Ike’s
A box of Jolly Rancher Gummies (he’s into the fruity candy)
When he shook the wrapped box of Mike and Ike’s he shook it and said, “Hmmm… Good and Plenty’s?”
“No,” I said. “I hate Good and Plenty’s, so I would never buy you those for your birthday.” (I mean, what if he wanted to share?)
The Reverend Mother’s gift has not arrived yet. She ordered it yesterday (our family has a knack for ordering things for people and the item not arriving in time for the birthday/Christmas).
Here’s a poem for my Daddy:
Happy happy happy happy happy happy
happy happy happy happy happy happy
happy happy happy happy happy happy
happy happy happy happy happy Biiiiiiiirrrrrrthday!
Haiku:
Have a fun Birthday
I hope it brings you lots of
joy, Happy Birthday.

He made it down the stairs? That means he’s still ambulatory. I’ll take a stab at his age: he is 343/(number on sane Supreme Court justices + teams in the NFC North – the number of his wives) Am I close?
Ummm… I have no idea what number you’re guessing, so I’m going to say no.
Umm…That’s Sonic the Hedgehog.
Happy Birthday Night Writer!
You are a gift to this world. What a wonderful family you have. Enjoy your day and may God bless this coming year.
Bah, he can’t be any older than say….73?? Close enough.
Oh and ahem….
*singing*
Thiiiiiiss iiiiiisss yoooooouuurr birthday song, it isn’t very long.
Thanks everyone! Ben’s math is correct, if you use the number of “sane” SCOTUS judges from the global warming ruling.
Kevin, thanks for the song – I’m glad it’s short.
Portia – good to see you’re still reading blogs; it was a sad day for me when I saw you had closed PR. You can crash here anytime you want to post something!
