yes... they happen every year and the little two-digit (for most people anyhow) number increases progressively and our health decreases. But hang on - that's a pessimistic outlook. Personally - I love birthdays! Love with a big "L". So being lucky enough to be able to celebrate it with my very closest family today is a real treat.
The post though is not about lovey dovey moments - it's a quickie about these "closest families". Yep you guessed it - it's going to be a sarcastic one.
Amongst SMS'es and StudiVZ congratulations, and of course a wonderful present from hubby I get an email from my Grandma this morning (the one in Nsk)... and it says... I quote:
"happy birthday! wishing you happiness and successes! I wish so much that you have a boy!" umm.... hmmm.... yes... well.... ummm... so my reply was something along the lines of "thanks Grandma! but I'm not pregnant, so your wishes are somewhat premature"... I mean I have two questions to the audience... if one is not pregnant and your family probably wishes that you were... wouldn't they wish that on THEIR birthday, as opposed to on mine?! And then wishing for a baby of a specific sex... aren't all babies wonderful?
allright - I'm done and off to have meself a breakfast!
That is a very specific wish.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed your birthday and you weren't too sick!
But they don't wish it for themselves, they wish it for you and obviously you are just not mature enough to understand all the well-meanness (is that a word, too tired to check) of their wish :-D
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday again.
Whoops....a bit late but HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I wish so much that you have a boy too! :)
