There is too much hilarity in my house on my birthday to not share so here's the thread to join the fun. #ThankYou

First gift:
8yo: Mama, are you stressed but it’s hard to take a break?
Me: I guess?
8yo: I have the perfect thing! I made you a gift.
Me: What?
8yo: This is a stress ball you can squeeze but the pen is on the INSIDE-so you can release tension and keep working!

More crafts from the 8yo. Necklaces out of pipe cleaners and doilies.
Oh boy, there was birthday video, which in the hands of @CNN colleagues was the most awesome thing. Here's a taste of @JohnAvlon breaking the rules (used six words to describe me versus the prescribed five!).
8yo: We can play whatever music you want. Who do you like best?
Me: Lizzo
8yo: Too much cursing maybe?
Me: OK, Bhupen Hazarika.
8yo: Alexa will not know him.
Me: Hmmm.
8yo: Lizzo is fine. I will cover my ears.

And this just in from my sister-in-law. Thx @Paymentalist!
