So I took the boys to the Dollar Store to pick out a birthday gift for Dad. I let Rocky wander the store uninhibited to make his choice. He carefully examined the toy and toiletry aisles, almost picking a triple pack of pinwheels. You know, the essentials (Dumb and Dumber reference). After much thought, Rocky settled on a jumbo pink princess pen full of glitter that featured a handbag stamper on top. "Dad will love this!" he yelled triumphantly resulting in snickers from the surrounding shoppers. Meanwhile, unbeknowest to me, Jack (who was propped in the front of the shopping cart) had yanked a stuffed monkey from a hanging rack. By the time I realized this, he had chewed up the paper tag and spit up white chunks all over the animal. Needless to say, we bought that too. As excited as Dad was sure to be with his princess pen, I thought maybe we should pick out one more gift. So Rocky chose a porcelain statue of a bear with tools. A builder bear is what he called it. Then Rocky insisted that he needed to buy his girlfriend Lydia a present too. "I like her a lot Mom," he said. Ok. He chose an oversized gooey bug. So I gave him a groundbreaking lesson on impressing girls, and he replaced the icky insect with a glittering wand. This morning Rich was tickled pink with his presents... or thoroughly confused, but he was pleased to discover that his pen could also blow bubbles and stamp a picture of a handbag. Rocky reminded him about 7 times to take his pen to work and put his "builder bear" on his desk. Rich will be the popular one at the office today. The first one to get handbag stamped was Jack.

Funny! I hope Rich has a great birthday. I'm sure he knows that he's worth more than a pink glitter pen, but it does help that it stamps handbags.
I'm jealous of Rich's "3 in 1 tool"
Hoping the dollar store here has one. Thanks for the continual chuckles. Good job Rocky!
So cute!!! Happy birthday Rich!
Rich, Happy Birthday. You're one lucky son of a gun to get a pink sparkle pen. I think you and Dave connect on a inner level. I seem to remember a pretty little maid dressed up to the nine's for Halloween. I suggest you don't flaunt it around town to much or all the guys will run out and buy one and there is nothing more humiliating than being a poor imposter and there can only be one Richard! Thanks for the many laughs your family gives the world.
