Birthdays
Beating The Odds
“This is a school assignment I did when I was about to turn eight. I was excited that my friend Kim was coming to my birthday party. I also reminisced about something my mother had said to me when I was younger. Gee, thanks Mom. I loved Miss Smith’s response: “Why not?” My mother and I had a bit of a strained relationship to say the least. LOL.”

Recycled Birthday Card
‘We threw a surprise 70th birthday party for my dad. We discovered that his cousin repurposed one of her son’s 30th birthday cards for my dad’s birthday present. She put stickers over the earlier message, but we were suspicious so we took them off only to find WhiteOut over a handwritten message. The first card came with a Starbucks gift card, my dad’s card was empty.”
