This could actually inspire rather amusing birthday cards:
(on front of card) Dear, I have a present for you.
(inside) It's right here, every moment of your life.
Breathe in (unless you're in China, have severe allergies, or are around smokers).
Enjoy (unless you have insomnia and really would prefer to go to sleep).
Take note of each second (unless you're taking a test, in which case checking your watch would only waste time).
See your world anew each moment (unless you're taking a memory or other standardized test).
Enjoy (unless you're really not enjoying yourself, in which case leave the unpleasant situation).
Best, your love (but don't you think life just gets better and better?)
This "book" is terrifying. Are we so stupid or was this meant for kindergarten students? Actually, Johnson published this same book in 2000 under the title The Precious Present, but to our great relief and ever-lasting appreciation re-released it under a more approachable name. Just reading the titles of his books makes me want to hit my computer screen. (No, I have no previous or intended future assault and battery charges.)
