Judah loves Abel Tesfaye. You may know him as The Weeknd. Or as the guy who got lost in the mirror maze during halftime at the Super Bowl. You may also know him from TikTok and his song Blinding Lights, which has over 3 billion streams on Spotify — way way way way way way way more than anything by The Beatles.

Judah loves him. LOVES him. I think he’s ok.

Long story less complicated Pam and I got tickets for The Weeknd months ago. We got them for Judah’s birthday which is at the end of August. The concert was last night. (Close enough.) We had an idea to tell him when we bought them…

HOW MANY DAYS TILL THE WEEKND?
NOW HOW MANY DAYS?
HOW MANY MORE DAYS NOW?
NOW HOW MANY?
NOW HOW MANY?
NOW HOW MANY?
NOW HOW MANY?

…but we quickly ruled that out.

Then we thought we’d surprise him on the way to the show, but took that off the table as well because sometimes a surprise can be very unexpected…

WE’RE DOING WHAT?! WHEN?! NOW?!
