HOW can he possibly be 20 already?! I'm a little teary from reading this lovely list of his attributes.

Happy day to you all -- Youngest, plus you and K -- since it's the parents' day too.

This makes me weepy. Except for 1 and 2( though hubris is so important to him) and 19 because he is 6'4", they sound like they are the same boy. Maybe one day they can meet in Wellfleet. Happy birthday to youngest. You got a good one, there.

Wasn't he like 12 just recently?
Good God, how long have I been here?

I feel the same way as all previous commenters! 20?!!

I could swear he was in middle school.

Happy Birthday, youngest!

Many happy returns to your Middle Son.

I've never met anyone who was so supremely good at being the youngest of such an eclectic and talented family. There's no self-doubt, second guessy hesitation, but a confident, clever, self-assured man who is more than capable of exceeding any and all requirements and expectations. (Also: funny as shit.)

Happy belated birthday! I'm so happy to be an imaginary internet auntie to such an amazing person!
