Most awaited day in a year is my birthday. First thing to check in calender is the day of my birthday. If it's on weekend, it would be so depressing because I can't put on new dress to school and share cookies or chocolate with my pals! Celebration starts with getting a new dress, momma preparing my favorite sweet, daddy preparing the guest list. Because of the excitement I couldn't sleep before night! After a tiresome day, I use to make plans for my next birthday!
After marriage this turned out to be different. Yes I check the day of my birthday and remember the date (now we celebrate according to lunar calender) but, I will not tell anyone about it. Because it would help my husband to remember my birthday. Exactly a month before my birthday I don't speak any thing about shopping, even that thing would give him a clue! But he gets a dress for me, then I ask him why! He says for my birthday. With no expression on face I say 'oh' but I feel, " oh! You remember!". On the day of my birthday I check is he making my 3 year old son wish me? Is my in-laws wishing me properly? Is he giving a good party? I don't want to miss any opportunity to shout on him!
Despite of his extra extra care to celebrate my birthday there will be few mistakes. Like, this time he wrote my age on the cake! I asked him why? He said, " if we lit those many candles, it turns out to be a wax cake! So I asked him to write on it!". I don't have words! Now on the thought of the word 'birthday' is reminding me the number!! So spooky..
Hahaha! A cheerful person like you only grow younger year by year. Your age is just a number in my view :-) Have a happy birthday. :-)
