We have been celebrating Mijo's 18th birthday over the last few days, first with his boys on Monday, then with his girlfriend on Tuesday. It is very hard to shop for him since he has never been into material things like Boy is. Boy could still give me a list of 20 things he needs right now, if I asked. Mijo over here just says "I'll come up with something, just give me time." Basically, we just kind of gave him money to do whatever. Monday, he had four extra boys join him and we went and dropped him off at EVO where they bowled for a while, then watched a movie. Apparently, they had gone through the arcade and played some games because he wanted to make sure the punching machine still had his high score before we left. It did not, so without asking if he could have a little more time, he went and got more credits on his card so he could punch the thing a few more times (this boy's ego is something else).
While the boys were at the thing, we went to Central Market and bought him a cake which we were going to sing Happy Birthday with, but it didn't happen Monday night. We got back home after stopping to eat at Whataburger out in Kyle and the boys promptly went to the weight room, to screw around. Wife and I went up to our room, mostly to give them privacy and let them do their own thing. We figured we would just do the cake with the girlfriend the next day after we figured we had missed our chance with the boys. About the same thing happened with his GF, she came over for a bit, then we took them to the movies, when we got out, we ate at Longhorn Steakhouse, where they did bring him a little birthday ice cream cup. We still didn't technically sing to him, but my mom did sing the birthday song over the phone, when she called him to wish him a happy birthday.
That was pretty much how his birthday went. I guess we did order him some specialized wrestling shoes, which cost us like $165. I had already ordered him some Asics, which he has been wearing, but a couple of kids started talking about Rudis, which is a pricey specialized brand. He asked if he could maybe have some of those shoes for his birthday. I liked the idea of him having two pairs to change into every other day, these kids sweat so much, I hate the idea of wearing wet sweaty shoes.
