...well, almost everyday. There is a 12-year-old boy who comes to our restaurant with his family for supper almost everyday. And he always comes bearing gifts.
The boy is one of a very small, select group of customers that Tai gets visibly excited about. He loves to play with Tai--of course, doesn't everybody?-- and always brings something for Tai to play with. It is usually just a simple plastic bottle--you know, the Coke- or Pepsi-style of bottle. These half-litre bottles are just the right size for Tai to get his mouth around. He loves to bite into the rigid plastic, making as much crunching and crackling noise as possible. He'll toss it over his head, making it bounce and jump. He'll push it all round by his stubby nose, as if he's in a "Peanut Race." Or he'll simply pick it up and run as fast as he can from one end of the building to the other.
Tai gets far more enjoyment out of something like that than he does from any gift we might purchase from a store. Gotta love that kind of Christmas shopping list.
Tai wishes one and all a very Merry Christmas.
