While I was looking at all the numbered birthday cards, this card caught my attention as the only appropriate option...especially considering that I gave him a "Happy 30th" card last year only so I could write "oooops....that's right, this year you're hanging on to 29!"
I've set myself up for much ridicule this year (and next)...but it's been worth it! :)

It was also my mom's birthday this past weekend...and I had several conversations with my younger bro (regarding a gift for our mom's birthday) that went something like this...
me: "Hey...so what's this gift idea that you've got mom?"
TK: "She said she really wants a new shirt." (obviously satisfied to pass along such vital news)
me: [crickets]
TK: "You know...a shirt to go 'out' in..."
me: [intrigued/confused silence] "...what do you mean by 'out' exactly?"
TK: "well...like to go to Beaumont (the nearest city to my hometown) and stuff, but not to wear around the house or to church..."
me: "hmmmm...." [my bro still is oblivious as to how ambiguous this description still is]
[silence]
me: "soooo, maybe I should just take her shopping...?"
TK: "yeah, that works too."
