Today is my mom’s birthday! We had a party for her (and my uncle whose birthday was yesterday) over the weekend and it was quite fun. Before the party, I asked her if she wanted anything special for her birthday and she said this: “All I really want is for you and Maya to stop mentioning my age! That, to me, would be the best present.” I had a good laugh because we often mention her age and she just hates it. I do it to bug her, and Maya does it just because she’s really into being accurate.Â
Oh, and just FYI, we honored her wish!
 Happy birthday mom!
