Extending My Birthday Celebration

People who know my mommy know that she believes that birthdays should be celebrated for a full week. In keeping with this practice, she waited until Passover ended to bring cupcakes to school (she also didn't want my classmates to think she was just a really bad baker). I wore my tiara and held court for my six boyfriends, waiting patiently, in anticipation of cupcakes...


Then everyone sang "Happy Birthday" and I got to blow out three candles.
