Ahhhh....
To be thirteen at long last.
It's a special thing, that feeling of "thirteen-ness".
It looks a lot like this:
It seems to be that feeling of utter and absolute confidence in who you are and your place in the world....only without actually knowing who you are or your actual place in the world.
That is something to celebrate with a large bowl of cantaloupe.
Unfortunately, the meal choice was not his, due to a last minute decision to travel down to Arkansas to see Great Grandma Lucille. I guarantee there would not be rice on the table if Ethan had something to say about it.
Which brings us back to the cantaloupe.
Cantaloupe covers a multitude of sins.....rice sins.
Only when you are thirteen and living in the age of Amazon, do you get a large box like this.
And know with great certainty that there lies inside...
..your fondest thirteen year old dream...
A SWORD!!
You will go forth as a knight of the teenage realm!
You will lead your siblings in your birthday song!
And all will be right with the world.
**His REAL gift was that he got a free pass from trying the infernal rice.
Happy BIRTHDAY!!!
