We celebrated Michael’s 17th birthday last week, which just feels absurd. In honor of this milestone, here are 17 things you might not know about Michael:

1. He eats ungodly amounts of cereal at ungodly hours of the day and night. There’s usually two for breakfast and another two after dinner before bed. His favorites are Cocoa Puffs and Lucky Charms, so follow me for more healthy parenting advice.

2. He drives like an old man. Everyone hassles him about it, but he can’t be bothered. He happily drives a few miles under the speed limit and basically parks his car at stop signs.
