A Day is Not a Week is Not a Month
Why do people celebrate their birthdays for a week? Or more? Did it take a week for your moms to push you out her womb? I say this because in the past few months I've noticed that people have been asking their friends to come out to this night and that night for multiple parties celebrating their birthDAY. Even in my most ME-ME-ME moments, not once did I resort to this hubristic, self-aggrandizing behavior.
"Come to my pre-birthday birthday!"
"Come to my 2 days before my birthday birthday party!"
"Come to my actual birthday party and act like you care!"
Or the best one I saw the other day: "This party will be the first one in my birthday series." Wha? Birthday series? Let's just throw a parade in your honor. And then we can have the pre-parade party birthday celebration, the almost time for the parade post-birthday party celebration, let's not stop!
