Birthday boys


SK and Rusty, 7 years ago.

My little boy turns 16 today! I know I say this every year but I must say it again, "How time flies!"

The tiny baby (only 2.8kg at birth) is now a tall and muscular young man, with a good head on his shoulders. He has proven to be diligent and quietly ambitious. On the way to school today, he asked, "What's a bachelor's pad?"

Then he wanted to know what kind of salary he has to earn and save before he can buy his own house. Maybe he thinks the process is too slow because he asked, "Is it easy to set up a business?"

That's my boy! He had asked the right question! After giving him a summary, I asked if it all sounds interesting to him. He said "No."

Ah, he's still young. Happy birthday SK!

Incidentally, Rusty just turned 7 this year, that's 49 in human years. The little dog is officially the oldest member in the family!
