Birthday rituals

Ottawacker Jr. celebrates his 10th birthday today and, as such, had to endure the battery of traditions we have put in place with the sole intention of making his life miserable. The Measuring of the Midget is always a key part of these traditions, and, once the Tissue Box Used for the Measuring of the Midget has been located and checked for straightness, it revealed that the Midget is not a midget any longer, but has risen to 4'10". After that, the Recording of the Questions, the Takling of the Official Photo, the Looking at the Photo Album and the Eating of the Selected Cake were all endured with good grace.
