A birthday story



Blake said today, "Mama, there were no presents on your birthday!"
I told him Ba and Nana had sent a gift certificate to Panera Bread, Daddy got me some chocolate pretzels and Grandma Neumann sent a necklace. I reminded him of the nice cake he and Daddy made for me.
"But there were no presents for me!" he said.
I told him he would get presents on his birthday. Not good enough. So I told him the Easter Bunny would give him a present.
"When is the Easter Bunny coming?"
I quickly did the math from last Wednesday and my basic understanding of Lent.
"Oh, he'll be here in about 40 days."
"That's TOO LONG!"
I bet he's not the first to think that ....
