“I tried to call my son and record him on video and I said, ‘Listen, I have a present for him,'” Greenfield said. “And he said, ‘Oh, is that a Lego video game? “Which I don’t know if it’s a thing or not, but he was just overwhelmed with the idea that he was about to get something.”
He added, “I said, ‘It’s a book.’ And he got mad. He yelled and then he punched me.”
However, the 7-year-old may have had a change of heart since then, as Greenfield notes that the boy is “very involved” in the second book.
“I was forced to dedicate it to him, but he loved it and he had a right to own it,” Greenfield said. “And now he wants me to come read it to their school and he’s like, ‘Can I give this to my friend Rory?” And I was like, “Yeah, man, whatever you want to do.”
