Dana just came by with an ad hoc birthday card. In essence, it is a piece of white paper folded over with a bunch of happy faces and HAPPY B-DAY DAN written in red and blue markers.

Me: You're so sweet!
Dana: Well it's your day.
Me: You're right, it is my day--wait, it's Jesus's day too.
Dana: Nah. It's your day.

Happy Birthday! Keep us posted on the festivities, however mundane.

Why would you assume his festivities were mundane? There must be some reason his nickname is Caligula.

It's your day.

Jebus didn't even do anything today... he just got resurrected.

Lazy ass. You were actually being born... that's hard work!

Really. I'm sick and tired of seeing my tax dollars subsidize fetuses who lounge around in utero into the tenth, eleventh, even twelfth month. It's time for them to abandon the warm, humid luxury of amniotic fluid, get out of the cart, and help push.

This didn't happen in my day. In the 80's we knew the value of a dollar and understood the virtue of hard work. Dammit.

Happy belated birthday, Daniel.

Would it lower your opinion of me (can it get any lower?) if I told you I was one of those ten month moochers?

Before you say anything, all I can say it: BUT IT WAS REALLY COMFY!!!

(I've always imagined my mother in that last month sitting on the couch, slouched over watching TV with a beer and a cigarette, drunk off her ass, punching her own stomach, screaming with slurred speech "Get out of me! For the love of God, GET OUT OF ME!!!")

My mother didn't indulge such sloth; I was extracted by C-section. Let's just say it was the first of many occasions on which she made it clear that, while she was generally a permissive parent, her threats were not idle ones.

Being taken care of entirely by umbilical cord was a terrific time management tool; it freed me to do so much more reading than I do now when I have to eat every once in a while to avoid becoming dizzy.

(I can't imagine my mother watching TV.)

Happy Birthday! Hope you got lots of good stuff.
But Jesus is the reason for the season. :)
