Think of it as a walking stick.

Looks like they let you pick the one you wanted. It could have been worse.

Happy Birthday sir! You need a fancier cane...something antique (because a lot of them are awesome), or a bladed one for self protection....those are legal and cool ....and legal...right? Right? :P

Just think of it as a reaching stick. Congrats on hitting the 1970s speed limit!

Yeah, but this one was only $12. (They let me pay for it, too.)

I have a close friend who is 91 and he does not think I am so old.

My wife  started buying her own gifts. She even wrapped a few of them last time. “Here, you’re giving this to me later.”

Happy Birthday!

As someone that occasionally needs to use a cane since hitting 50 a couple of years ago, let me say that I wish I had a nice wood one like that instead of my plain black anodized model . It would certainly add a bit of style to what is sometimes awkward situation.

Age is relative.

Happy Birthday!

Yes! Some one older than me. Not by much but older.

There’s the old saying, “You’re only as old as you feel.” I prefer my corollary:  “You don’t have to feel as old as you are.”

Awesome. Mopar pistol grip shifter; my favorite.

Oh, and congratulations. I’m 58.   A t least for another 45 days or so.

Turn the tables by whacking each of them with it. Except the wife, of course. ^_^

Happy birthday. There's kind of a relief as an educator when your birthday is in the summer, because you don't have to wonder if one of THOSE kids...you know, the ones who are both creative, but also mischievous...is planning something.

Not long after my grandfather got the top right one in candy appple red , he was leaving the docs office and saw a woman using a walker who looked very depressed. He ambled up along side her and asked, "Wanna race?" It put a huge smile on her face.

If they weren't so expensive, I'd already have one.

It’s true, but when I was a kid, I never got to have cupcakes on my birthday in my class. :-(

Yes,that walking stick is red. It's a perfect fit. But I need to sand the varnish off the handle part, sand it smooth, and then it can darken with perspiration and oil.

Thanks. This one is some deadfall that a guy cleaned up and applied a coat of varnish, but it's strong and light and a great souvenir.

It’s a little like that with me, but we do try to keep some degree of separation in there.

Clearly it would be hilarious if you took what she bought out of the box and replaced it with something else.

I can imagine less preferable scenarios where hubby  buys the wrong thing and awkwardness ensues. Sounds like you have a workable situation. Optimal, even maybe.
