Happy Birthday

"Frank, you got mail from your friends in New York," I said, as I sorted the mail.

He opened up his birthday card from the New York Yankees. "My first birthday card is from the Yankees!" he said.

Those Kid Fan Club Memberships are worth every penny. Coupons, a tshirt, a calender and stickers, etc. Also? They get mail all year round.

Mary's birthday is coming up before Frank's.

"What do you want?" I ask her.

"A sock monkey," she says.

"No, really," I say.

"Yes, really," she says.

Sigh. I solved this one and she will be tickled.

What did parents do before the Internet?
