My friend’s son has already hit double digits but this is the first landmark…back to a prime number and many kids’ menus don’t apply anymore. More importantly, according to Patton Oswalt, no birthday cake or party. Not until he turns 13.
I wish I had something else to add because he sounds like a swell kid. The last time I saw him, he was going through the Terrible Twos: learning how to speak, learning how to communicate with people other than his parents (or interpreters) and Rad’s wedding was the bigger priority. He was average for someone at two. Chance is nothing like that today. Case in point, my parents said I used to be quiet and obedient at mass/church. We know how that all worked out!
Meanwhile, I’m going to drop his dad a quick line, see what Chance is into these days. A while back he thought Ben 10 was pretty awesome. Due to his father’s line of work (comic book artist), I’m sure he’s graduated to the more well-known superheroes.
