Happy birthday Not-so-Old Fart!

So I like to take advantage of my kids' super young minds and awesome memories, e.g.,

"Hey kids, help me remember to call Grandpa tomorrow. Tomorrow is his birthday."

Gabe: But wasn't it just Bubbe's birthday yesterday?

Me: Yep, and there's only one day in between Bubbe's and Grandpa's birthdays.

Sofia: But, Mom, Grandpa doesn't look like a Grandpa.

Me: What? (Wondering if she's getting ready to discuss his tattoos...)

Sofia: Grandpas are supposed to look old, and Grandpa's not old.

Me: Awww, Sofia, that's sweet. You'll have to tell him that tomorrow. Help Mom remember.
+++++++++++++++++++++++
:) Happy birthday Dad! Hope you're doing something fun tonight after picking up Eli from bowling!

Mom: for the record, Sofia said Bubbe does not look old either, but (insert confused look here): "Bubbes aren't supposed to be old!" (Perhaps she has read stories about grandfathers but not about bubbes!) :) Much love!
