If I could say happy birthday in another language I would.

But I can’t.

So I won’t.

Happy birthday.

YAY!

I got a really cute handmade card from my 7 year old:

\*\*Happy Birthday To you.

Happy Birthday to mama

We think you will like a suck fish.\*\*

It took a bit of a moment to figure out that a **Suck Fish** is Sucker Fish\*, which I have been meaning to purchase for our once crystal clear fish tank.

Does anyone ever actually _like_ the ASCW? I tend to avoid places that do that kind of thing, cause the kinda places I eat at usually serve me through my car window and then the staff cannot catch up to me to sing as I peel away stuffing fries into my mouth.

Oh, **Shirley** , we love you. I would totally chase after your car and sing annoying birthday chants at you-- and I can do it in key, unlike most of the ASCW groups out there. 😛 I do, however, tend to avoid going out to dinner on my birthday, as I despise having to be subjected to a “choir” of people who have no concept of staying in the same key and time measure as the rest of their group.

Happy birthday!

Yeah, I do. Or rather I did at my Birthdopefest. It was a little embarassing, but it was fun. And it takes all of ten seconds.

Happy Birthday, lady! I’ve always enjoyed your posts and your sense of fun.

Can I…um…mention that…[sub]it’s my birthday too?[/sub] I just always thought it was really neat that we share birthdays, if not years. I’m 36 today.
