For his 10th birthday Aidan received a gift certificate for the 'Newbie Weekend' at our area paintball field. I had no doubts that he would absolutely love it, but the depth of his excitement took me off guard. In addition to talking incessantly about it all night, he spent the better part of 2 hours pouring over paint ball 'markers' on my iPad and compiling a list of the ones he would like for Christmas. So, after a conversation about setting expectations, he now understands that IF he gets a paint ball marker for Christmas, he will NOT be getting a $700 one. (I have a sneaking suspicion that the he still
doesn't believe me.)
