Default Thanks for the BDay Present

I came home to find my 20 year-old son Tim had washed and waxed my Vette and filled it to the top with 93. Thanks for being a good son and YES you can borrow the Vette to go to your girlfriend's house!

Nice birthday present he gave you (even though he may have had another motive for doing it too - ).

Happy birthday.

Happy Birthday Bro, and many many more! Sounds like your son is a good kid, and smart too! Next time he asks the old man if he can borrow the Vette theres no way you can say no. Great present, great kid, enjoy your day!

Sounds like you have a great son and he was thinking of you on your birthday, the thought is what counts.
