Birthdays
#1
My younger (youngest? I have two) will be 54 years old this week. 
I want to give him a gift.
When he was 7 years old he wanted a Tonka Truck for his birthday but he had gotten into my tool box and lost 4 of my sockets from a one/half inch set and I was pissed. I don't remember what I gave him but it wasn't a Tonka truck.
So...
Should I give him one this year?

Only if you find one on Ebay the same vintage as the year he turned 7. The new ones off the shelf now are crap compared to the old ones.

Then it's out. If I can't get it at Big Lots, I don't buy it.
