Delight... Gift of Laughter

This story supposed to be friendly and touchy by title. Gift of Laughter mean it have to give everyone to be smile and laugh at end. Allan is narrator this story. He told his story about his son and past with his grandma which is related to his son. Allan seem have natural story teller because it is very smooth and make me smile at end that he is so smartass to get his son join him to eat ice cream while he want to run away which he stood outside. I was impressed Allan is knowing that he don’t want it make it happen repeat as in his past that he trade old football for his value brand new sled and marble.
At beginning, I thought it talk about Christmas that Allan’s son found Christmas gift under the tree as son was surprised. I guess wrong that his son thrilled to give his father priceless draw picture. His father was forgetting his birthday. It is making sense for his title, gift of Laughter that son draw strange picture of his dad. Same time, Allan was talking about money problem but his son gave him priceless. How it is surprised by luck. He don’t have to get a money or gift. It is just gift without money, Laugh.
Narrator Allan don’t have to take anger management because he didn’t slam his door for 25 years which it is surprised me that he is very gentleman and patience for everything until he heard his son slam and pissed off. It reminded him as in his past. He built the protect the bad memories from his son. He will explained his son about his experience. But it is irony that his son is only seven years old.
I found it is match the theme “leaving home” because Allan’s son ready to leave home because he is just pissed off that his dad not care his sweetest gift that he remember dad’s birthday. Allan’s family seem like be Italian family to me because his parent is foreign but move recently from other country. His grandma voice football but it is supposed to be fruit bowl. Poor Allan was misunderstand about his grandma. Why not he ask his grandma before he brought the football which he give up the thing that he love. Lucky, his grandma was proud his grandson which is nice and think he is funny to make it football with fruit bowl.
Narrator’s tone is tried to be funny, inspired, and smooth. His message came from the story is he remember the past and explain same experience that don’t want to repeat in the future. But it past and future is same. Hard to be different. Look at our America history, it do repeat.
