a day in the life of a Kindergarten boy

Hello friends and family,
My middle son Ryan has a best friend we will call her "A".  "A" is always giving Ryan gum and other little things like silly bands on the bus ride home.  They are both in Kindergarten but not the same class, however they have recess at the same time and apparently they always play together and they sit by each other on the bus.  Yesterday Ryan told me that it was "A's" birthday today and that he wanted to buy her a princess gift. Well it was after 7 so I told him we could not go to the store but he could make her a card and we would find something around the house to give her. We found a heart shaped silly band and he decided to give her one of our homemade crayons. He colored her a picture and put them all in an envelope labeled "A" you're my best friend.  He was very excited to give "A" her gift, he even thought she would give him a  hug, then he said I hope she doesn't.
I waited all day to find out how "A" liked her birthday present. Ryan gets off the bus and I ask how she liked it, He says it wasn't even her birthday. She lied to me so I would give her something! I then ask well when is her birthday? Ryan said she doesn't know.  Then he tells me she kept the crayon and silly band but gave him back the picture, apparently "A" doesn't like paper......

As we are walking home he then informs me that "A" gave him money to go buy himself something for his birthday next week, sure enough he had $2.00 in his back pack!
