some days it just doesn't pay to listen



next time someone tells you not to make a big deal over their birthday, don't listen. especially if that person is miss daisy who forgot she told you MORE THAN ONCE, NOT to plan anything. yeah, she's 87 today. there's more to this story, but that's all i'm saying publicly. a restaurant will be involved.

did i mention, she's an only child.

and y'all know i'm an only, too.

tis a battle of wills around here all the time!




(just remember, i do love this woman as if she were my own mother, ok?)

UPDATE:
thanks to xl for reminding me about. . .

  11. Poor Miss Daisy. Lessons learned all round. No chance of that happening here. I have already told my lot I expect the earth for my 80th. Well to remember at least:)

  13. I utterly understand Miss Daisy, it's agony when people take you at your word! Happy birthday to her, hope she enjoyed lunch, X

    ps only children are great – not one myself but my son is and he's the nicest person I know, not biased of course.

  14. Happy 87th! My Georgia mother is 83 1/2, and I am never there for her birthdays. I should make a bigger effort.

  15. Happy everything to everybody. Especially you.

    As an only child, I fully understand the dilemma of happiness surrounding birthdays. Mine is November 2nd. Just in case.
