Jack Jack Attack Is 17

Jack spent his birthday doing a service project at the Christian Brothers residence, where he was gifted with a cane to use in Nicaragua. Then he came home to his requested meal. Bang Bang Chicken and a coconut cream pie. Dad missed all the festivities as he is in Manhattan for work.
