The Moth Radio Hour: The Big Reveal

All right. All right, all right, all right. Okay. So it was two weeks before my birthday, and I'm sitting in my room thinking of what I wanted as a gift. And this wasn't going to be no ordinary gift because I was turning seven. And, you know, turning seven is a really big deal for me because seven is basically ten. Ten is basically a teenager. Teenager is basically an adult.

So, you know, like adults do, I wanted to get that one expensive present that was going to last me a long time. Not like a toy set that I would play with for two months, and then next thing you know, it's collecting dust in my closet. So I go up to my parents and I'm like, hey, can we go to Toys R Us? So the next day we go to Toys R Us and they're showing me all these toys.
