Two weeks ago we had a couple conversations like this...
Mom: Farah, what do you want for your birthday? Do you want a party? Do you want a pizza party and movie night with your friends? Do you want a sleep-over? Do you want a family party?
Dad: Farah, would you like to go to San Francisco for your birthday? Would you like to go to the beach? How about an "Angel's" game???
Farah: What I REALLY want is to sleep in, skip breakfast, go out to lunch for a big burrito, come home and read my book, then I want to play computer games all afternoon without anyone bugging me. I'd like chicken-fried-steak, mashed potatoes, gravy, string beans, and rolls for dinner. Oh, and chocolate cake would be nice too!
