ANOTHER YEAR OLDER

Mom: "Happy birthday, sweetie."

Me: "..."

Dad: "Would you like to open your present now or later?"

Me: "..." I nodded.

Dad: "Now it is, then."

Dad hands me a nicely wrapped gift with a bow and all. We sit down on the living room couch and I tare away the wrapping paper.

Mom: "We thought you could use a better up to date camera."

Mom and dad smiled at me with wide grins. I couldn't help but to grin back.

Me: "Thank you guys." I hugged them both.

Dad: "Now get on that bus and work hard in school."

Me: "..." I nodded and hurried out the door, taking my new camera with me.
