Most of the kids weren't there yet, so I was building with the couple of kids that were already there, including the little jerk turning 7. I'm feeling creative, and the kids are just building boring houses, so I get started on an awesome project:
It's a dinosaur swimming pool, duh.
As you can see, I have thought of all the details. There are large stairs so the dinosaurs can climb up to the diving board, multiple cretaceous plants to make them feel at home and ensure privacy for those late-night skinny dips, and a shallow depth to the pool for all of the dinosaurs' short-legged friends.
So then, the birthday jerk says to me, "What is that?" I answer in my most serious and important-sounding voice, "A dinosaur swimming pool, duh." The kid actually looks at me and says "Dinosaurs are for babies. I don't like dinosaurs. No one likes dinosaurs."
WHAT!? Who does this kid think he is? He then asked all the other kids as they came whether they liked dinosaurs. Each of the kids said that dinosaurs are dumb and for babies. He actually got all the kids to team up on me.
Even though it's relatively obvious, here is a brief list of reasons why I am better than a 7-year-old:
1. 7-year-olds are 7 and I am not.
2. I have a blog.
3. I have a job.
4. I know that picking your nose is gross.
5. My girlfriend doesn't watch Hannah Montana.
6. My parents don't have to drive me to the movies.
7. I am smarter than a 7-year-old.
And, I only need 7 examples to prove that I am better. Or 8, if that one counts.
