Thanks, H&R Block

So today is Theo's 8-month birthday. He had a nice day, we went for a walk this morning, and we had fun playing this afternoon after work. But then, as I was sitting with him on the couch, things got exciting. The phone rang (blue lights!! sound!!), and the caller ID said "Happy B-Day." Thinking that this must be something for Theo, I hit speakerphone and let him stare in wonderment at the magical phone. Lots of cheering and a recording of the Happy Birthday song came through! But then, instead of "Happy Birthday, Dear The-o" it sang "Happy Birthday, Dear Lamar." So close. It was a recording from H&R block, where apparently Lamar filed his taxes last year and where they have his birthday on record and where they apparently have our phone number on record. Oh, well, Theo thought it was fantastic.

Happy Birthday, Lamar! 8 months old and you're filing taxes. Hope they got your ss# right!

Lamar will have a good kick when he becomes a runner. He certainly saves the best for last! What a star! -- UB
