Dear Jack: Life with Your New Dirt Bike

15 years, 1 month.

Dear Jack,

You’re one lucky boy. You wanted a dirt bike for Christmas and you got one. Not just any dirt bike, but specifically the one you did all the research on and determined would be the best.

I did have reservations that it might not be exactly what you wanted once it arrived, but fortunately, I was wrong.

It is very clear that this dirt bike is not only important for you in that it gives you the ability to go exploring, but it also means that new friends show up in our driveway to go riding with you.

 

Love,

Daddy

Dear Jack: Your 10th Birthday Party, 2 Weeks Early on Halloween

9 years, 11 months.

Dear Jack,

One question that began circulating was whether Halloween would still be happening this year, because of Covid. Well, we took matters into our own hands at our house:

We had your 10th birthday a couple of weeks early, on Halloween, which just happened to be on a Saturday this year.

The entire party was outside/open air. Most of the time you and your dozen fellow 4th grade friends played out in the court.

The rest of the time was spent in our garage, with the garage door open; as we did some games and crafts, as well has served pizza and cake.

Oh, and Mommy and I went ahead and gave you your gift early too:

The new electric Razor dirt bike you have been wanting!

Love,

Daddy
