Read All About It

Last weekend I went to visit my parents for my mom’s birthday. Every year around this time, I have to buy lots and lots of presents for my parents, and frankly it can get pretty exhausting! First there’s Mother’s Day, then Father’s Day, then my father’s birthday, then my mother’s birthday. I love my folks and I know it’s kind of petty and silly to complain, but sometimes it really does feel like I spend my whole summer driving around trying to find presents for them. It doesn’t help that my dad is impossible to shop for. I’ll ask him for a list of what he wants, and it’ll say stuff like, “black socks.” The birthday itself went pretty well… Although it was pretty hot, and the candles on my mom’s cake melted all over the place before she could blow them out!
