Dear Sophia,

Well, Sophia, tomorrow is my birthday. I will be 38 years old. I am expecting a birthday gift for each of those years. I have a few suggestions for you to get you started on your shopping spree. For my first birthday you can get me a gold suther. For my fourth birthday I want a vintage GT Snow Racer. For my sixth birthday you can get me a silver trophy that says "MVP Soccer 1989". For my eighth birthday I want a mountain bike with front shocks and a proper bike helmet. For my tenth birthday I want a remote controled car with an internal combustion engine and big knobby tires. For my twelfth birthday I want a trip to Disney Land and I want to stay in a theme room on the resort. For my fourteenth birthday I want a computer with software for programming and some games like Tomb Raider and Duke Nukem 3D. For my sixteenth birthday I want my first car, a pickup truck with all wheel drive. For my eighteenth birthday I want an all inclusive trip to Australia for me and my high school sweetheart - I want to stay by the beach and I want Australian tours. For my twentyfirst birthday I want to have a royal party with all of my childhood friends, even the kids I didn't like - I expect old teachers, lunch ladys and coaches to be present - It will be my first formal party and I will sit at the head table. For birthdays after this I am not too picky but I expect more than a tie and socks. Think along the lines of CEO attire. All these gifts should come with an age appropriate card and a bit of cash (you can decide at what age I get a checking account). I look forward to reliving my birthday celebrations with you. Please take it seriously - I am.

Sincerely,

King Arthur Henry George of England
