He’s at the age where he can actually now remember his last birthday. His biggest memory of the occasion was obviously all the new toys he received…I know this because every time a toy commercial comes on, he gets all excited and very loudly lets me know to get him that advertised toy for his birthday!
“Ooh, Mama, I want that fuh my buhthday! Can I get that fuh my buhthday?! Mama! Mama! Can you get me that fuh my buhthday?!”
Now I’m not just talking about trucks and action figures. I’m talking about any toy that he sees in a commercial. Play-dough, Hot Wheels, baby dolls, Barbie Dolls, Toy Story toys, Iron Man stuff…any toys! He wants them all for his birthday.
A few days back we are sitting in front of the television when a commercial comes on advertising some new, hottest way to get your abs in shape, exercise machine. He looks at me, excitement building on his face and in his voice and says:
“Mama, Ima get you that fuh yuh buhthday!”
Oh no, he didn’t!…Oh yes, he did!
