My 10-year-old son Calvin came home the other day with an announcement. "I need to buy a birthday gift for a friend." I had a quick moment of panic as I couldn't remember any party being on the calendar.
Me: Who's birthday is it?
C: Rachel's.
Me: Were you invited to a party, and you just didn't show me the invitation?
C: No, I just know her birthday is during spring break, and I wanted to get her a gift.
Me: How did you know it was her birthday?
C: She told me, and then I wrote it down in my planner.
Grandma: Do you know what she would like?
C: Yes, I have a list. (Pulls it out of his pocket.)
Grandma: How'd you get the list?
C: I asked her best friend.
Wow. All I can say is there is someone out there who is going to be a very lucky girl someday.
