Hey guys, guess who just turned 9? If you guessed George, G$ or Duke, you’re correct. If you were like, what? Weren’t you just a baby like a minute ago? You’re also correct.

What’s it like turning 9 during a pandemic? Let’s just say when my mom asked where I’d go if I could go anywhere in the world, I said, “Someplace without Corona.” Waaaa, waaaa. It’s not all bad news though. Here’s what I had to say about a few other things, including my favorite color (it’s a rollercoaster ride, peeps, strap in), my future career, and how great my life is (spoiler alert: really, really great).

Here’s a little snapshot of things I like, not necessarily in order*:

1. My Mom
2. My Dad
3. Rosie (just kidding, Hazy, or am I?)
4. Hazy
5. Parmesan cheese
6. Candy
7. Minecraft
8. Talking about Minecraft
9. Roblox
10. Pasta
11. Hockey
12. LEGOS
13. Cuddles
14. Shredded Cheddar Cheese
15. Movie Night
16. Playing “I love you,” “I love you more,” “I love you more more,” etc with Mom either via hand squeezes or verbally.
17. Dunkin’ Donuts
18. Recounting forgettable moments from movies and HISHE clips with, “Remember when…” a la Chris Farley.
19. Playing games with my family (Uno, Connect Four & Monopoly)
20. Ice Cream
21. Koi (my friend’s guinea pig)
22. Remote-controlled things
23. Not wearing pants

Yours, George (Duke)
