So I was out with this good friend of mine, at the local Borders, accompanying him as he was looking for a good book to give to his twin brother as a birthday present.
The birthday was a couple of days away, and afterwards I saw him on MSN, chatted with him for a while asking how the party turned out and that’s that.
A few days later, out of a whim, I ask my friend when his birthday is. Then before he replied (via MSN), the answer dawned upon me like a torrent of apples falling on Newton’s head. It never did occur to me to say “Happy birthday” to him on that day.
You see, he was buying the present for his twin brother.
