Today was our (Adam's...?) niece's birthday. She is now 8! We spent the morning at Chuck-E-Cheese's playing skiiball and getting Ethan (our 5 year old nephew) millions and millions of tickets.
The best was probably when we gave Elizabeth her card with a check inside. She opened the card, which played noise, and was momentarily amused, then asked "where's the present?" to which we replied "it's right there, it's that check". Of course, being 8, all she saw was a piece of paper, curled her nose and put it in the trash pile. We all laughed a minute, as Mark talked to her:
Mark: Elizabeth, do you know what a check is?
Elizabeth: no....
Mark: it's something you take to the bank and get money for, it's the same as cash
(taking the check in hand) see right here, where it says 'fifteen dollars' that's how much it's worth
Elizabeth: (snatching check) OH MY GOSH!!!!
I love being an Aunt, I think it's fabulous!
