Grandparents are always sooo good at spoiling their grandchildren…No wonder Tim Sr. said OK when his parents said they’d take care of his son’s birthday.
And just look at how nice it’ll be…He gets to go window shopping, to show them what he really wants for birthday presents…Though…. Surprise!! …. in reality his lovely gifts are already chosen.
What child wouldn’t be delighted with a quilted bicycle cover?And to think…. he’ll get Grandpa’s old lederhosen, for his very own!
Those will become heirlooms. That’s gotta be better than some silly tablet or smartphone that will only wear out…. can’t wait to see the look of awe on his little face.
And Joy and Burls very favorite cake! He’ll learn to love it too.What an opportunity for emotional growth.Not that I really believe the Pennys “don’t like chocolate cake.”It’s gotta be a whim…cos there is NO cake and NOTHING chocolate the Pennys don’t like.
Paco…. I hate to tell him to run away without knowing what his parents are like…but considering that his father is made of Shemp DNA, and that they apparently think nothing of leaving him with Marlene and Dale for what seems to be days on end…yeah…Run, Timmy!Run like the eind!
This is just another chapter in the chronicles of the Pennys’ infamous ‘generosity’. Remember when Joy brought over only 3/4 of a cake for somebody’s birthday because Burl couldn’t be there? There were numerous other examples over the years…
They get the cake he ‘likes’ and he gets a Hostess cupcake with a candle on the top, but his main present, unbeknownst to them, is he not only picks out their retirement homes but also sues to oversee their collective estates, relatives or not.
They don’t like chocolate cake?!?!?!? They are NOT true Americans! Deport them right now! Although, more than chocolate cake with chocolate icing, I think I like yellow with chocolate even better.
Really that is so not fair If I was Timmy I would not want a cake from Joy as she can’t bake and I wound afraid of food poisoning . Truth is my cake mom choose my more then I hated strawberry but she loved it there was at least three times I did not eat my birthday cake because she made strawberry instead of chocolate.Even my dad said let me pick and she gave him the LOOK no more was said . except dad took me to bakery a few days later and brought me two slices of cake and told me not to say anything
Their selfishness, self-centeredness, insensitivity and downright cruelty are legendary. If any one person had all of these qualities, there would be a special section at The Hague to deal with them.
Just give him Bandaids. He’s gonna get beaten up real bad if he shows up in lederhosen riding a bike with a knitted seat cozy. .His birthday cake will be their favorite: A large bowl of generic imitation whip with a couple of strawberries tossed in, just so they can’t be accused of simply gobbling the whip right out of the packaging. Timmy will get a Dixie cup full, because he’s the child. .And the notion that this bunch won’t eat chocolate cake is a transparent lie. They simply don’t want to share with Timmy. .And why isn’t Timmy starting fires? I know. He’s not screwed up enough. He’s remarkably stable for all his exposure to the goons. But still, I sure wish he’d begin starting fires.
when we were kids my favorite was (still is) devils food with milk chocolate icing. my sis liked white cake with coconut frosting. our birthdays are very close together. grandma would make one cake, half devils food/chocolate and half white cake/coconut. twas wunnerful!
We have a store that wins national competitions with its pies, so we buy pie instead of cake. Pie is better than cake, and birthday pie is better than birthday cake. If you have accumulated 12 pie points, you get a free pie. One year the birthday pie was a free birthday pie and it doesn’t get better than that.

Now they’ve reached the LIMIT! NO Grandparent treats a grandchild like this! I think they may be aliens.
