Kid: Mom! I'm so happy!
Kid: This is the second best thing that has ever happened to me. (Pause) [Boyfriend] is the first.
Kid: The curtains. (Giggles wildly.)
Kid: Everyone here is so nice.
Kid: This is the best day ever.
Kid: (To me, wistfully): Can I have the special juice?*
Kid: (very softly, after the nurse helped him into the wheelchair, which was indeed vaguely shaped like a throne): I'm a king.
*This is because when he was little, I would never buy him juice, since it's essentially sugar in a liquid form. I would also never buy him those terrible white doughy cookies with an inch of brightly colored icing on top. Because UGH.

Thank you! Me, too. I've been worried for SO LONG about this.
Let's rejoice! Special juice for everyone!
I bought him apple juice. But this is THE LAST TIME.
I too never buy juice unless they're sick! But special juice for a special occasion.
That could have been your Oprah moment: "You get special juice! And, you get special juice!"
Ha, yes!
