My mom picked me up from my dad 's house that day and told me there was a surprise waiting for me at home, as we arrived home I bolted inside and looked in my room, no shiny new bike. I was so disappointed. But then my mom walked in and told me to have a seat on the couch, she handed me an envelope and said happy birthday. I opened it and inside were 3 red wings vs stars tickets.
