So......the Jr. Chef turns 9 on Feb. 15........

........and what does he want for his birthday?

Cash- no thanks

I-Pod- nah, already got one

OK, there wiseguy........what would you like for your birthday?

Cellphone.

He'll be 9.

I got my first cellphone at 24.

His response was the cutest though......"But dad.........what if there's a robber coming into the house........I can't go into the kitchen and get the house phone because he'll see me......I can use my cellphone from my room."

He then gets on to alltel.com, and proceeds to show me which one he wants.......to his credit, he picked out some $49.00 phone, not some $600 cellular monstrosity.

 

"But Daddy I like all my toes."

 

Give him a wedgie. My brother still gets them on his birthdays.

We don't talk much anymore.

 

So long as it's not a Do-It-Yourself-Tattoo-Kit, I say go for it.

 

better a cell phone than a six pack and a knife

 

The six pack-knife toe amputation kit is more of a 13th birthday present. Jews have bar mitzvahs, Chef's family lops off appendages.

You could always take him to Chuck E. Cheese.

 

Fuck you.

Fuck you.

Kiss my ass.

Fuck you too.

Well then.........isn't that better?

 

That's the last time I offer a sincere suggestion.

 

That's great, but who are the Chefs?

 

What about a nice cocktail of peroxide, witch hazel and rubbing alcohol?

 

The six pack-knife would be safer than CEC..

 

If you can set some ground rules as to how and when it'll be used, I don't see a problem.

...And as long as he doesn't end up doing this...
