Ever wonder about that?
The thought of making a big deal over making it through another 365 days. Then adding another number to your age. Cake, candles, singing "Happy Birthday". Whose idea was that?
Children love it. Women stop having birthdays at age 39. Dads can't stop having birthdays if they have children who like to make or buy them gifts.
The Bible tells about two birthday celebrations. In both of them someone lost their head.
Happy Birthday to you!!!

Hey, are you about to get older or something.
ReplyDeleteI knew a guy who referred to birthdays as "fossilizing". He as kind of unique with his vocabulary though, had to do with being from northeast Minnesota. Kind of like George and Mildred. You know, with that goofy "breaking her tongue" expression that Mildred had. Range rovers we called them growing up. Maybe they had too many birthdays.
I remember this strange neighbor I had many years back. He would just set up a folding chair and sit in his empty garage at 3:00 am. He was from northeast Minnesota. That is just how they were up there. That is why they all vote for Al Franken. Not really that much upstairs. Just enough to get that union job, and figure out how to buy groceries.
ReplyDeleteThey truly are in their own little world up there. I visited that area just once. Nice enough in the summer, but look out around October, it is getting cold and snowy. There have been years they have been ice fishing on Mother's Day up there. So maybe that cold weather simply affected their brains.
ReplyDeleteIt's YOUR birthday you're allowed to cancel it if you want. Actually the gifts and celebration should go to the mother instead of the child that was born. After all she did all the 'work'!!
ReplyDeleteOh no, the mother doesn't want anything like that. I'll just take chocolate. :o)
