Valentine's Day is coming up, and the narrator is bummed because he thought his daughter, claire, would give him a gift on her special day. She's never really thanked him or said anything nice, so he's not sure what to expect. He's also worried that she's too young for the day, so she'll have to make a gift for someone else's birthday or something like that. Finally, he figures out that the gift is a pair of pants, which is a new trend this year. The pants fit him well, and he'll wear them on his birthday.
