The scene: Walt is in the bath playing with his motley assortment of bath toys.
W: Daddy, come look.
Daddy: Yeah. That's pretty fancy. What are you going to do with it?
W: Well, it's Mommy's birthday; maybe we should give it to her.
Daddy: What is she going to do with that?
W: She can put it on the table in the hallway. As a decoration.
Daddy: Yeah, Buddy. I don't think she's going to put a plastic beaker filled with water and a tiny rubber shark topped with a chili pepper bottle stopper on the table for decoration.
W: Why not?
Daddy: Well, because girls like to put nice things out for decoration. That's something that only a boy would use to decorate.
W: Well. We could put some stickers on it?
It's sitting on the table. Happy birthday, Ginger. Your boys love you.
That was her most treasured birthday present...no doubt! The stickers really made the difference.
