During my last week in Hawaii, my little brother was promoted to Lieutenant Commander on the deck of the U.S.S. Chung Hoon. It was coincidentally his son's 4th birthday so there was much to celebrate. The captain of the ship thought to mention little Blake's birthday before the promotion ceremony and suggested that all the officers gathered on the deck sing Happy Birthday to him. When everyone turned to look at him and sing, Blake was briefly paralyzed with horror by the unwelcome attention then burst into tears. Poor little guy.
