The Golden Birthdays
-
this weekend marked the birthdays of nuala and adie.
-
the golden birthdays, no less.
-
the golden birthday, for those of you who don't know, is when you're the same age as the birthday's date.
-
so for adie this was 25 on the 25th and for nuala, 27 on the 27th.
-
in addition, rosemary was 25 when she had nuala and 27 when she had adie.
-
the symbolism of this many numbers should impress you. i know i was impressed.
-
particularly when i learned what a golden birthday was.
-
of course, i was also then cursing the fact that mine passed me by 19 years ago.
-
how are you supposed to properly appreciate what is supposed to be the best year of your life when you're 8?
