Birthday Gift | 2.22.01
The first birthday party I ever went to was for this rich Jewish girl in my 2nd grade class. It was at Sportsworld, this place with lots of arcade games and sports stuff. I didn't know what presents to buy. I didn't know that you could just give them money for their birthday, so I walked to the local stationery store and bought her a bunch of folders and pencils. Maybe she thought the gifts were lame because I didn't get invited the following year and I guess the other kids heard about my lame gift because I didn't get invited to any other parties for a few more years. But I can't say that the gift was totally useless. I saw her use the folders at school and she carried the pencils around, too. |
