Happy 7th Birthday Chance!

This year we received a thank-you phone call from the little guy on Sunday! Recently his dad (Steve Bryant) was having some serious Mac trouble (software-driven) so the easiest solution was to ship a hard drive containing an image to get the computer running again. Not to let the shipping go to waste, Somara and I threw in a birthday present because we knew Chance would be turning seven soon. What did we get him? The deluxe omnimatrix from the Ben Ten cartoon. It looks similar to those big wristband watches people used to wear in the Seventies and Eighties that are considered dorky now. When it’s part of the superhero’s costume, it’s never out of style with kids; Superman still wears his red underpants on the outside. Chance thought it was the coolest; Steve said he received frequent reminders of how important it is to completing the Ben Ten Halloween ensemble. We’re just glad we made the right call since watching hours of Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network doesn’t mean you always have your fingers on the pulse of kids’ tastes.
