Kris The Birthday Girl

b'Birthdays sneak up on you like a bug sneaks up on a windshield. My kids are now older than I think I am. This episode includes my new grandparent\'s prayer: "Dear Lord, please keep your arm around my kid\'s shoulder, and your hand over my mouth." And you get a shot at the new Summer Stumper: What is it without which an airplane cannot fly, but which is of no value to the airplane ?" And most important, a few words from Kris, that make another birthday...ok.'
