The Story Teller

My cousin Mon is turning 21 this year. His parents are very traditional, which is typical for those who grew up in the province. So we’re kind of trying to come up with non beer 21st birthday gifts that are both cool and conventional. It must be cool to be appreciated by the celebrant but it must be conventional not to be censored by the old folks.

Knowing Mon, he won’t say anything. He would surely grant us his nod of thanks and appear cheerful about what we just gave him. But of course, we like it to be something he would really like. His parents are another matter, they wouldn’t be too kind not to express their disapproval and I wouldn’t want to be there when it happens, lol!
