Birthday Bests
Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009You Win Already Lor.
This is the first time anyone’s done this. In the way only you can orchestrate!
Thank you for hiding in my room and cramping in there with the kids and the dogs. For actually picking out the limpy rabbit that I had just groped the very afternoon before the sales person had to pry it from my fingers saying it’s not appropriate for newborns…and with Ken disapprovingly looking on. For the mooncaks from the very counter I ran my sweaty palms over, eyes glazed over the sweetness that sit in there waiting for my teeth to sink in…before Lovell reminds me I’ve just finished a dim-sum lunch and surely CANNOT be hungry again… For getting me a purse that’s got the cutest clasp, the kind that I’ve search every vintage store for, the kind I go to lengths to find.
You see, thank you not for the gifts but for always knowing. Somehow you always do, even if you’re somewhere else, you know my little quirks, irks, hurts and delights. The phrase if I shook my arse you’d know where itches isn’t too far from the truth.
So that’s you. Add to that, your beautiful ways. In every little thoughtfulness. Even if it’s a stealth operation in the night that requires you to hide yourself, flowers, a rabbit, a purse and gebras and the boys in my room… even if they called me AUNTY!! Even if they underlined 34 years old!!
You made this year extra warm fuzzy and sweet. Thank you dearie! I don’t mind turning 34 at all this year!!
