Dear Rodney,
You are literally the smartest kid I know.
The things that have come out of your mouth have been jaw dropping. As a 2 year old, you told us you were 'parched'.
As a 3 year old you full on tackled me and pinned me in a wrestling match - uncle Adam wouldn't rescue me and I was legit-ally stuck!
I learned how to do an awesome underdog by practicing on you...thousands.of.times.
Uncle Adams favorite memory is karate chopping 100 styrofoam plates with you.
My favorite (of many) quotes of yours came out of desperation on a family trip 'I haven't had a cheeseburger in miiiiiilllllessss!'
Oh and you were the cutest ring bearer ever!
Adam and I had to be the coolest people on earth when we told you we were having your first boy cousin. You've been such a fun and good role model for him!
I've watched you kill 47 fish sticks in one sitting.
You had the creepiest penguin mask known to man.
Your frankness and quick wit are one of your best attributes.
And I like your long hair.
Its surreal that we are celebrating your teenage-hood today. You're such a great and intelligent kid and I don't see that changing, ever. I hope for you to always be yourself because you're an awesome dude and that your teenage years are a time of fun! Continue to learn all you can!
I love our more grown up chats because 'kids are so simple minded' (another Rod-ism). :)
You'll always be my lil buddy, we are so proud to call you put nephew, and we love you so much!!
Happy 13th birthday!
