Teaching her right

Two months ago, my sister and I took my niece to a Houston Rockets basketball game. My niece was mildly interested in the game, but she really enjoyed the popcorn and ice cream.

Tonight, I called my sister and asked to speak to my niece. She got on the phone and heard my voice and immediately said, "basketball game." I told her that the season was almost over but that I would take her to a a basketball game for her birthday next year. Her reply: "birthday cake!"

This is a child after my own heart - basketball and cake.
