You Say It's Your Birthday...

They say it’s her birthday. Well, it’s his birthday too.

Between work, family and the struggles of every day life, she had almost forgotten that it was her special day. Sure, he could have made a big deal about it, but he had his own thing going on. After doing some soul searching, she figured that the best way to spend her birthday would be a day out and about.

It had been so long since she had her eyebrows done that she was starting to resemble Bert from Sesame Street. And she was in such desperate need of a pedicure that she had vowed to wear closed-toe shoes for the rest of the summer. They say timing is everything and unfortunately she just couldn’t find the time.

That’s when it occurred to her. She looked at her husband and rolled out her birthday wishes. 1) To sleep in late. 2) To get a pedicure 3) To have lunch with friends. Apparently, he didn’t feel inclined to watch the baby to do any of these things. You see, she had failed to give him advanced notice and he was a very busy man, apparently too busy to accommodate his dear wife on her birthday.

In fact, he refused to grant her even one wish that being the gift of sleeping in late. Sometime throughout the day she happened to discover he was noticeably absent. But of course, then she remembered it was nap time… his nap time.

Apparently, it was good to be king. `
