birthday boy Tommy

This boy had a birthday yesterday.

He got a lot of scout* stuff, which is only sort of fun.

His favorite present was a Thor hammer**.

Prior to his birthday I heard him say, "My life will be complete if I get a Thor hammer for my birthday!"

It must be nice to have all your desires and ambitions fulfilled when you are only 11!

*Birthdays when scout equipment (shirts, pants, belts, socks, etc.) is purchased are bittersweet.  Hello expensive Scout Store!  Birthday money that could be going to fun stuff like LEGOs is spent on olive green pants and socks.  Nice.

** Special thanks to Stick for the actual purchase of the Thor hammer.  The first store we went to didn't have it.  Two more that we called didn't either, but Stick persevered and we found a store that had it.  I was ready to throw in the towel after the first store!
