This year my birthday box from my dad contained
- an heroic amount of chocolate
- Colorado honey
- disposable rubber gloves (???)
- two scarves (already mine, not gifts)
- a picutre of me and my brother as toddlersÂ
- a tote bag from a German battery manufacturer (???????)
- three books of poems by the archbishop of Canterbury
- two books by my dad on theology
- two plays (already mine, not gifts)
- the thing I actually asked for for my birthday: a pencil case shaped like a purple cow
- a card with the text: “Did you know people are making ice cubes out of leftover wine? who would have thought that was possible? to have leftover wine, I mean. Happy Birthday.”
stay tuned as my relationship with my dad continues to get weirder
oh I forgot there was also a mismatched pair of men’s socks
my birthday box from my dad contained towels.........just towels
