What in the heck does that mean? Well, my parents, being the kind and loving grandparents that they are, began a ritual way back when the second child of my sister's was born, of giving the sibling a gift on the birthday of his brother. So, today is Riley's birthday. Riley gets a big gift. Hunter and Colin, his brothers, get small gifts. Has my sister told Mama and Daddy to stop doing this? Yes. Have they any plans to stop doing this? No.
It's sorta embarassing watching Hunter search for a gift when there is absolutely no reason for him to get one. And it takes away from Riley's birthday, or Hunter's birthday, or Colin's birthday, when they do it.
But Mama doesn't care. She says she is old and she can do what she wants. And I say I am old and I can tell her I think she should stop doing it. At least I can tell her that three times a year - next scheduled discussion - July 30th.
