I just finished singing happy birthday to our younger son. He said he'd already put the phone on speaker because he knew it was me. Normally my husband and I do a duet, but he's away today. I love doing this silly thing to my very grown and mature kids, and I never miss. Parents are the people least likely to forget your birthday, and the only witnesses to your birth. I like to celebrate it. It is a tradition in our family to make a fuss over birthdays. We've scaled back on Christmas and do a gift exchange and only have one gift to buy. But we try to get together for dinner out for each birthday, and my husband and I are generous for that gift and also still get a cake and make a big deal out of it. We do it for spouses and signifigant others as well.
It's singing speech, but it is oh so right!
