On Chris's 27th birthday, Jacob decided that a birthday was just too
important to waste on one day. I suppose his three-year-old mind just
wasn't impressed with the dinner out we had proclaimed to be Chris's
birthday celebration--even though dinner out was pretty rare in those
days. The next day, he saw an ice cream cake sticker clinging to the
local Dairy Queen's window and decided that Daddy needed it for his birthday.
The day after that it was a video rental, and the day after that it was a toy, which was, of course, completely self-serving. And so
it went day after day. Something would catch Jacob's eye, and he would
insist that Daddy needed it for his birthday. After about a week of
celebrating Chris's birthday, we finally managed to convince Jacob that
the birthday was over, but ever since then birthdays have been more of a
week-long extravaganza in our house.
Since it's hard to break with tradition, I usually celebrate my birthday straight through the Fourth of July. Those fireworks you see every year are for ME. Trust me, Uncle Sam doesn't mind.
Tonight Chris is taking me to see a musical in San Diego, and I am positively wicked with excitement.
