Happy Birthday, Pops!


I told my first graders it was my dad's birthday on Thursday and they immediately started singing "Happy Birthday" to him. I'm sure he heard it. The wind here as a ability to send messages very far! :)

My dad HATES when people make a big deal about his birthday! Of course, I would like to embarrass him any way that I can! With that said....


HAPPPPPPPPPPPPY BIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRTHDAAAAAAAY!!!!!! I wish I could be there to help you in your old age. Luckily, you still have hair, although it is far from your natural color. It's ok though. It is normal for people of your age.
