10 year old Jake

he can do what he wants to. Around here, Birthday Day makes you King or Queen for the day. Today, Speedreader turns 10. I have a 10 year old! And these are his wishes. Eating chocolate sauce out of the bottle. Watching as much (approved) TV as he desires. No chores. His siblings and I will see to them. Not getting dressed til he wants. Lunch at Gatti Town. Eating as many Werther’s butterscotches as he wants. Soda. Holding court from the sofa. With the remote control in his hand. A chocolate cake. Yellow cake and chocolate frosting. Pizza for dinner. So, the Birthday King has spoken, and I’ve got to go get in gear, to see to his wishes. My boy turns 10. Happy Birthday to him.
