My 26th birthday is right around the corner. The first of April or April Fool’s Day if you will. I’m really not very big on my birthday. It is just another day. No reason to get too excited. Maybe that’s because I have endured year after year after year of practical jokes at the expense of this day. One year my friends made up a roll of toilet paper to look like a cake. They sang “Happy Birthday” to me as I tried to cut into it. Hardy-Har-Har! (That was actually a pretty good prank! Joke was on them though cause I don’t like cake.) Also every year somebody always says, “Today’s your birthday? I bet your mom thought you were a joke!” Yeah, good one the first 13 years I heard it. And of course, I can always count on the obligatory, “Hey, I got you a gift! Ha-ha! April Fool’s Day!” I laugh on the outside but cry a little on the inside.
You know, you can make my birthday wishes come true if you’d like. Micheal’s Wish List is open 24/7 for you to pick out something to make up for all those year’s of ridicule. Go ahead, check it out. Go nuts!
