Happy Birthday Daddy

Jack was very excited to celebrate Daddy's birthday. The proof:


  • He woke up yelling "SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!" Then inquired about cake.

  • He gave Daddy some of his favorite toys as Birthday Presents, hiding them throughout the house and insisting Daddy go find them. Then inquired about cake.

  • He picked out party favors at the store. Then inquired about cake.

  • He picked out a card for Daddy. He handed it to Mom and said "It has a convertible and a red car on it. Those are two of my favorites!" Then he inquired about cake.

  • He helped hang party decorations. Then he inquired about cake.

Do you see a trend here?

While Mommy was out running some last minute errands. Jack performed some random acit of naughtiness under Daddy's watchful eye. Daddy during the heat of discipline informed Jack he would have no birthday cake if the behavior continued. The behavior continued. Then the tears over the loss of cake began. Daddy gave Jack the opportunity to show he was sorry and make amends to "earn" back cake eating privileges. After 10 minutes of careful consideration, Jack came over to Daddy, crawling into his lap. He said, "Daddy I am very sorry and won't do it EVER again." To which Daddy asked, "Are you really sorry or just saying that to get cake." Jack replied, "Just saying it to get cake."

Moral of the story. Daddy learned on his 46th birthday that his son is very honest, just not so bright...and never to threaten cake as a punishment ;)
