I am very happy when I do things for other people, especially for kids. I love it when kids eagerly open presents I have given them, enjoy the arts and crafts projects that we occasionally do together, and sit enthralled while I read them a children's book. Since I am so MUCH older than my (pre-teen) grandnieces and grandnephews, the kids call me Papa Michael.
