My birthday is Monday by the way. Ugh. Why do we dislike birthdays as adults?
Because each one is one closer to our last birthday.
We had a party for my mother on her 90[sup]th[/sup] and 95[sup]th[/sup] birthdays. As her 96[sup]th[/sup] birthday approached, she asked if we would have a party for her. I said no, that it was not a milestone birthday. She responded, "When you get to be my age, every birthday is a milestone." So we did have a party.
She was correct; she didn't reach her 97[sup]th[/sup] birthday.
