I laughed for 5 minutes when I read this. I made my 17-year-old daughter read it and asked her if she recognized anybody. She has a cow when you ask her to unload the dish washer. 3 minutes out of her day, she acts the the worlds ending.

The best summer vacation memory I’ve got is that we got to have ice cream TWICE in ONE day (Fudge Ripple).

Wait until you grow up and find summer vacation is only – at most – two weeks (and you find it necessary to spend it reclaiming the back yard…)

It’s sad that his best friend is a stuffed tiger. No other little boys in the neighborhood?
