But instead I'll answer with a bit of dignity and intelligence. Kids like getting presents. Adults who are important to those kids usually buy them presents on their birthdays. There is nothing abnormal or "pedophile-ish" about this action at all. In fact, it would probably be cold and uncaring to NOT buy him a present on his birthday, since there is a relationship there.

Didaskalos, I really appreciate the articles that you post (and the fact that I can easily find them, since they are the only posts marked with "oompa loompa" in all caps). However, would you kindly think a bit more logically and factor social norms into the advice you choose to give people who are in turn affecting other people's lives?

Respectfully,
Hikaru
