The scene: Walt is in the bath playing with his motley assortment of bath toys.
W: Daddy, come look.
Daddy: Yeah. That's pretty fancy. What are you going to do with it?
W: Well, it's Mommy's birthday; maybe we should give it to her.
Daddy: What is she going to do with that?
W: She can put it on the table in the hallway. As a decoration.
Daddy: Yeah, Buddy. I don't think she's going to put a plastic beaker filled with water and a tiny rubber shark topped with a chili pepper bottle stopper on the table for decoration.
W: Why not?
Daddy: Well, because girls like to put nice things out for decoration. That's something that only a boy would use to decorate.
W: Well. We could put some stickers on it?
It's sitting on the table. Happy birthday, Ginger. Your boys love you.
It is wonderful - glad the boys went with it!

What girl doesn't fall for stickers?! I'll bet you that will be one gift she'll remember for many, many years.
Glad you had such a special birthday, Ginger.
