A Bat Flys into the room as Ezra is grinning as she takes flight herself determining that the bat is actually her son coming to tell her that, "They are ready."
"Ready for what?" Birk says grinnig also, as he can sense that something wonderful is about to happen.Suddenly a low whining sound is heard coming from outside getting louder, Then BOOM and bolt of lightning shines in from every window.
Birk is on his feet and standing at the front door looking out into the parking lot, when he exclaims. "No Way!""You Guys!, this is too much." Birk says as he disappears out the front door to go greet his Sons. "Happy Veterens Day Daddy!"

Sharon and Ozzy are about to board the coach as they both turn around and wave at Adam and his family one last time as Sharon calls out to him.
"Thank You Again, you Dear Sweet Lad. We Love You All." She turns and follows Ozzy but not before she turns and She Blows Adam a Kiss and leaves him with one of her infamous smiles. The bus door silently closes as air is released from the brake."Isn't She Beautiful Dad?" Adam says turning to his father. "Yes My Boy She is." Birk says mentally noting that this is the first time Adam has shared his Idea of anything being beautiful as he was proud of his son in that moment of experienceing a divine truth.
"Mr. Clevland gave us asignment to write an essay about The Coolest Guy I know, so I wrote about that weekend at your house, when we were downstairs playing in the Mancave with Ozzy Osbournes new album on the stereo. Remember Dad?" Birk begins to chuckle as he remembers exactly which occasion. I wrote about what you said later about how you remembered when you were a boy how Grandpa would walk in and turn down your stereo and then wait outside your door for you to turn it back up. And how forty years later you came into my room to turn it up so that we both can sing and play air guitar. That was cool Dad. I wrote about it and the next thing I know, I was being called down to the principals office.
It was kinda of funny how everyone thought that I was In trouble, but I knew I wasn't for some reason. So me and Mr. C go down to the principals office and there she was.
She said that she had read my essay and that her and Ozzy had to meet you. She said it was to be a secret surprise."
"This has been the biggest surprize of all my lives!" Birk says to his Oldest Son. Ethan pipes in with one of his Cartoon Boy Voices in a sing-song fashion.
"OH! WEEEE ARE NOT QUITE DONE... WITH YOU O O O JUST YET."
Birk looks at the twins as Ethans expression softens. Making sure that both of his brothers are paying attention he says to his father."Can I drive the Jeep?" "Of course you can drive the Jeep." Birk says to his son,mildly confused, believing that his ten year old son is refering to the old Ford, Willys replica, Birk keeps on Kerricho.
Ethan pulls his hand out of his pocket holding a brand new Chrysler key attached to the smallest remote control Birk has ever seen.
Knowing full well that his Jeep does not require the use of a key or a remote control, Birk asks his boy grinning as he has seemed to simply allow the answer to his questions to flow to him so that he is aware of the answer before he is able to verbalise the question. yet he will allow his sons the full benefit of the actions they all conspired together to commit.
"What is That?" Birk askes his son."That! Is not a that!" Ethan says holding up the key. "That is a this. aaand this is for that."
Ethan holds the remote up and presses a button.
A Brand new Silver Jeep Grand Cherokee with fifty two Elves sitting on it begins flashing its lights and beeping the horn. Ethan presses the button again after no less then 18 beeps."Surprise!" I told Sharon that You really wanted a new mini van when she asked, but she thought that this would be more appropriate.
"Do You Like it?""I Love it." Birk says as he finds that hugging all three boys at once is like trying to hug a futon.
First it is one for all, and then one for each."Thank You!."
