Payback is a yitch and I’m another Beer older

Dear Mom,

I was born in 1975. Subtract the 20 and carry the one and… count the toes, and that makes me thirty-two. (32)

I’m forgiven for forgetting your birthday that time, right?

Love, your daughter who isn’t lying about her age just quite yet.

P.S. The car is lovely, though.
P.S.S. I appreciate it and I did get the thirty-one dollars for starbucks.
P.S.S.S.P.S.P.S. If I had to pick an age to lie about, it would probably be twenty eight? Or even thirty? Or, hell, maybe thirty-one but I’d also lie and say I was a former playboy bunny and HAHAHA this is what happens when you turn thirty-one you skinny bitches.
PSPSPS S S S S S S. But I don’t think anyone would believe me anyway.

    I am ALSO a 1975 baby!  But January.  So I’m almost 33.  Sigh.

    But this isn’t about ME!

    I’d say your parents are doing pretty great in comparison with mine…They remembered my TWIN SISTER’S 18th birthday and forgot mine.

    How the freak do you do that????

    Anyway, I"m with Angella…This isn’t about ME. It’s about YOU! And your lovely birthday!!!!

    YAY!!!!!!

    Happy Birthday Lady!
    I agree with your parents- the world is a better, *definitely funnier* place with you in it. smile Figures you’re a Scorpio, too- that just explains soooo much!

    Mine was on the 27th… BUT the origina was 76.  *flaunts*

    Heh.  Ok. Sorry.

    Happy Birthday!  So…your day is the 28th?  Because so is mine!  I turned 29 yesterday…I think next year I’ll just turn 29 again.

    A couple of years ago my aunt left me a voice mail on my birthday that added a year to my actual age. Gee, thanks!

    Being 27 (again) rocks!

    My dad once got all up in mah grill about why I didn’t vote, civic responsibility and all that.

    I was 17.

    Lol. Loralee wins - how do you forget you had twins??

    My dad forgot my 19th birthday (gave me a belated card a day early) and thought I was actually turning 18. That was a very dark time in my relationship with my parents, to say the least. wink

    Happy birthday Mrs. F! You can commiserate on your elderliness with my Leslie; he’s really feeling it this year.

    Happy Birthday!

    My mom forgot what year I graduated and “Corrected” the alumni association.  I’ve had trouble getting them to put me back in my graduating class ever since.

    My older sister (MUCH older….cough) always has to ask how old I am.

    Happy Happy Birthday to You, You Fine Young Thang Les!!

    (From the crotchety 38-year-old down South.) smile

    Smooches and here’s to many more years of Mrs. Flinger Fabulousness. And yes, that’s a word. Dammit.

    Wow, I am an old lady compared to you, I had celebrated the big 32 on the 18th of this month.

    My parents have no idea how old any of us are, they are pretty good about remembering the date, but the actual age is always off. I think it is so they feel a bit younger ; )

    Happy Birthday!

    I just turned 32 last month.  1975 must have been a good year!  wink

    That’s so funny that they were a year off!  My parents would totally do something like that!

    Happy belated birthday!!!

  • Renee

    Happy birthday.  32 was a good year for me.

  • Holly
    J10/29/2007

    That IS funny!

    Happy belated birthday to YOU!  I was thinking you were an October birthday, but then when it was LB’s birthday, I figured that was what I was thinking, October-wise.  I’m terrible with remember stuff like that. 

    I hope your day was FUN!

  • hilary
    J10/29/2007

    Happy birthday to you!
    Yeah, 1975 rocks.
    I decided over a decade ago (!) that once 32 arrived, I would stay there for awhile. Now that I am here, I don’t really care, but might as well see how long I can stay.
    Looks like you were given a year for your birthday! ENJOY it.

  • Jen Rizzo
    J10/29/2007

    Big Old Happy B-yotchday you Scorpio! 32 is a pretty good year. 35 kind of sucks…though in my head I’m still 27. I guess that’s what Botox is for..

    My mom says she’s 29.  If pressed, she’ll say 39.  Because I’m 28.  And she wasn’t exactly young when she had me, either.  wink
