There are three young children in our neighborhood, who come to our house regularly to swim and play in the pool. They are really delightful kids. You might remember that I posted about them last year.

The little guy is having a birthday and his parents are having a party for him. His mom told him that in addition to his brother and sister he can have ten friends attend the party. She said he thought long and hard about it as he considered friends from the neighborhood and his school.

She showed me the paper. I made the list...along with his dog and the neighbor's cat. I'm too old to accept, but I thought including the pets was brilliant.
