Text reply to my brother who wonders what to get my son for his 14th birthday

 Oy. You guys. Don't worry. He doesn't need anything. 

Write him a letter. Tell him about being 14 and what u remember. Tell him what's great about being a boy and what adventures await him. Tell him about who u are and what made u happy at his age and what school was like and ur first crush and first toy and chores u did and what u collected and of the sugary things u ate, what the most valuable thing you learned was and a funny memory and a day u could live over and over even now, and who your best friend was and what u thought of ur little sister and granny and papa doo and how u got in trouble and what u played and what made u sad and what ur city was like and what dreams u had.Tell him what he has to look forward to and the best thing about being a kid and about being grown up. Introduce yourself. He'd like to know you. 😊
