Birthday Cakes for a Six-Year-Old

What would be the perfect cake for a little boy who loves football?

Well, a football-shaped cake, of course!

Actually, at a recent birthday "par-tay" for a six-year-old, there were two cakes. 

One, shaped  like a football, happened to be made from ice cream.  

It accompanied the other cake, with candles on it, that he made wishes on and and blew out.

The six-year-old whose birthday was being celebrated opened all his gifts and seemed to be having a delightful time. 


One of his gifts was a great big chocolate cookie with his name on it in colored frosting.

"Are you going to eat that cookie all by yourself or share it?" I asked the birthday boy.

He thought about  my question for a couple of minutes and then, in a barely audible voice, said, 

"Share it."

Good boy!  Hope he has a wonderful new year of life!

HOW DO YOU THINK CHILDREN LEARN TO SHARE?
