 Well I got time. Thanks spring break! Before I start the actual story, I just wanted to say... IF YA LIVE IN FLORIDA WHO WAITED OUT HURRICANE IRMA?!??!?!? CUZ I DID!!!! 

It was cool! Besides the fact that I slept for almost the whole thing. I did see the eye though. Fun times (note my sarcasm) I almost died of boredom. 

No offense to those of you who might have been affected (or effected? Idk) badly by it, you have my sympathy. 

Okaaaaay now enough about me, on to the story!

Un deux trios quatre                                                                                                                                                            Cinq six sept huit neuf                                        Un deux trios quatre                                                                                                                                                              Cinq six sept huit neuf                                                                    Good!

Sept huit neuf-                                                         Sept huit neuf- 

One two three four five six seven eight nine!

"Great job, Philip!" Mother says to me. I laugh as I continue playing the melody repeatedly. "Who do you want to invite to your birthday party? You need to decide quickly, it's only in two days!" I think for a moment. "Well I want to invite John, William, Frances, and Georges!" I answer.

"Anybody else?"

"So far, nope."

Mother ruffles my hair. "I can't believe it. My little man is turning seven!" She sighs.

This time, the seven isn't to trigger you, it's just to make him older than Theo.

"I'm not little mom!" I laugh. "Oh, thats right, your a big kid now." She returns my smile. I look at her, confused. "Wasn't I always big?" Mother laughs at my comment and shakes her head. "Oh Philly, you're too much."

"You're too much" I whisper. What does that mean?

Just then, daddy comes crashing out of his office, his glasses crooked, and hair messed up. He looks very panicked. "I'm late for work!" He screeched. He does that a lot. I heard some people say that it's an Alex thing.

"Daddy! You said you would take me to work today!" I exclaimed. "I did?" He mumbled. Then his face lit up. "I did! And I haven't forgotten! I've been thinking about how exciting this will be all week!"

We hop into the carriage that would take us to work. I straighten my new tie that mother had gotten me. I saved it for today. I look over at daddy. He's organizing his papers when he should be organizing himself. He looks like he just got out of bed!

"Daddy," I ask, "do you love me?"

"Of corse I do Philip! Why did you ask?" He replies, a little shocked.

"Well you're always busy, doing your work. and you don't ever have time to play with me, so I thought that you loved your work more than me." I confess.

"Philip! I love you way more than just a stack of papers! Heck, I could even write a song right now about how much I love you!"

"Oh, can you? I want to hear a song." He looks at me like he wasn't actually expecting me to ask him. He sighs "Okay." 

Oh Philip, when you smile I am undone 

My son

Look at my son

Pride is not the word I'm looking for 

There is so much more inside me now

Oh Philip, you outshine the morning sun

My son

When you smile, I fall apart

And I thought I was so smart

My father wasn't around                                                                              Meanwhile, Aaron Burr to Theo:                                

                                                                                                                                 My father wasn't around

I swear that I'll be around for you                                                            I swear that I'll be around for you

I'll do whatever it takes                                          

                                                                                                                                     I'll make a million mistakes 

I'll make the world safe and sound for you                 I'll make the world safe and sound for you

Will come of age with our young nation 

We'll bleed and fight for you

We'll make it right for you 

If we lay a strong enough foundation 

We'll pass it on to you

We'll give the world to you

And you'll blow us all away 

Someday, someday 

Yeah, you'll blow us all away

Someday, someday 

"Wow! When did you have time to write that?" I ask. "I was just thinking off the top of my head." (Sonny!) He mumbles. "One day, I want to write as good of songs as you do!" I say. "And one day, you can! Maybe even for someone special." My father winks at the last part, and I give him a little shove.

"Whoa! What's that?" I ask, intrigued by the giant building. "That's where I work!" He says. We both hop off of the carriage and wave to the driver. Then, we walk towards the doors of the building.
