One night back in October we were at Fossil Creek Ranch listening to Seth play drums with Tildon Gillum. I leaned over to tell Emily that I was going to the bar to get Dad and me a beer and that I would be right back. She wanted to do it for me... I told her that she couldn't, she wasn't old enough and that made her MAD! She pouted around for a while and asked again.. I told her again that she wasn't old enough and that she would have to wait until after her next birthday.

....fast forward to two night ago....


Emily and I were sitting back in her room watching TV together and somehow the conversation came around to birthdays. I asked her what she wanted to do for her birthday this year. She just matter-of-factly told me

"I want to buy my Daddy a beer."

That would be my 21 year old Emily.

Are you going to let her buy him a beer?
