Jack's birthday party was recently announced. The "theme" of Jack's party (to the extent a three year old can dictate the thematic nature of his own celebrations) is "Cars the Movie." In keeping with the "theme," the invitations prominently featured Cars the Movie star Lightning McQueen, the star of many an adolescents wonderment.
Today, I received an email from a good friend inquiring about the type of present that Jack would appreciate. It's the type of thoughtfulness and foresight that this particular friend exhibits frequently. Our friend first posed the question of whether they should bring "Cars the Movie"-related presents. Fair enough. He then added a small post script that brought me to tears.
Aside from being thoughtful and organized, this guy's really funny to boot. I love to laugh and love to make other people laugh, so I relish good one liners, and this little gem cannot go unrepeated. After asking about the type of present, my esteemed colleague went on to describe how his son, one of Jack's good buddies and frequent playmate, reacted to learning that Jack was having the Disney/Pixar(r) animated movie themed fiesta:
"By the way, you should have seen [his] reaction when we showed him the invite and told him that he was going to Jack's Cars the Movie birthday party. It was like inviting a frat boy to free lap dance night."
