Tita Mae where's my car?

Carl and his basketball cards. Those were his dad's gift for his tenth birthday.


Ten years ago, I promised my brother that for his son Carl’s 10th birthday, I would get him one of those remote controlled cars --- the really expensive ones that real hobbyists buy. I don’t remember why we formulated that promised, I think both my Kuya and I were just thinking of a good excuse to buy an expensive toy for the three of us.

Its been 15 days since Carl blew out the candles on his 10th birthday and still no car. What can I say? Hard times. Maybe in a few years, I can contribute to his first real car….
