We also celebrated Blonde Girl's birthday,
who was born on Mother's Day.
"Mom, I'm 11."
"I know."
"I was thinking that my pool party could also be my birthday party."
"Oh".
"Wouldn't that be fun, they could bring me presents."
She always has an angle.
"So, it would be a pool party/birthday party and you would get presents."
"Yes," she rejoiced at me seeing the sheer genius of her plan.
"I'll have to think about it," I said.
The classic mother response next to "you'll shoot your eye out."
