1. You're always into something new, and always cheerfully dragging us along with you. (That's how we got into T'ai Chi, scuba diving, and macrobiotic gardening.)
2. No one has a faster, more nimble or more flexible mind than you. While you're off extrapolating in new directions, the rest of us are still scratching our heads, trying to figure out how you got there.
3. You never hold rigidly to your opinions. You're always open to new information, which leads you to new views. It's that Twin thing - of two minds.
4. As a parent, you show your children the world, through books, teaching, and travel. And with that Peter Pan thing you've got going, we're never sure who's the child and who's the adult.
5. As a child, you keep us on our toes with your insatiable thirst for knowledge and endless questions. We may not have all the answers, but we're working on it.
6. As a lover, you take us out on the most memorable of dates. Paint ball followed by dumpster diving followed by Korean food. (You order in Korean, of course. But could you slow down for a minute so we could, like, make out or something??)
7. As a friend, you're our link to the world. We may be stuck at home changing diapers, or buried in work, but you get us out of our rut, happily sharing your friends.
8. You're our go-to guy for technology. When our Blackberry emits a piercing shriek and a little puff of smoke, you've got the situation under control with a few deft finger strokes. (Sometimes we hate you for that.)
9. No one tells a story or joke like you, and with that bottomless pit of a memory, you've got an endless supply of both.
10. You're the consummate witness, desiring only to know without judging. You take it all in, missing nothing, always leading us past our comfort zones. You are the eyes and ears of the world, the namer of things.
