I must be getting soft in my old age - my buddy Dave sent me this story about his 9 year old son Jake and I had to blog it. Some quick background: Dave is an old friend from high school, a successful attorney in Pittsburgh and remodeling his kitchen and den this winter. With that, take it away Dave:
Lastly, jake bought a diamond ring for $3 at the Jefferson [elementary school] holiday shop yesterday. He pulled me aside last night and gave it to me. He said he knew I probably didn't have much $$ left to buy a present for [Dave's wife/ Jake's mom] Stacey because of the addition, so he wanted me to give her the ring. The true meaning of xmas indeed....
Someone must be chopping onions nearby as I type this...yep, getting soft in my old age.
