For your birthday, I got you a box. Hooray! Itβs empty, so you can fill it with whatever you want.

A cake for all is not a celebration of one. Cupcakes are the ultimate birthday cake.

Boxes of toilet paper make the best birthday presents. They really show I give a shit.

When I think about my clone, random songs pop into my head. Songs like, βHappy Birthday.β Will he celebrate the same birthday as me? Heβd better, because without me, thereβd be nothing for him to celebrate.

A clone would make a great birthday gift, because itβs the only gift that keeps on giving. At least itβd better give me a birthday present every year. It owes its life to me.

The very best thing about landing in that grave? Perspective.
So I peer through this morning's prism: a science test looming in second period, an a-hole of a coach who probably could have used more childhood therapy than I got, and a tell-tale tampon under my foot.
I consider the clawed tiger on the bed, the one wearing the zebra-printed sports bra - the same tiger that every Sunday transforms into the girl who voluntarily walks next door to help sort Miss Effie's medicine into her days-of-the-week pill container. The one who pretended her ankle hurt one day last week so the backup settler on her volleyball team would get to play on her birthday.

Tujikumbushe *Wazee wanasema ni vizuri tucheke kidogo. Ng'ombe akiwa na birthday naomba kondoo wote mlete maua. Simba akikukimbiza ukikutana na pundamlia(zebra) ukirukia mgongoni simba atasimama kama gari?Kama hujawahi kuonja ladha ya sabuni muoshe mbwa. Najiwazia tuu hapa hata sina point, ukimpa fundi cherehani ashone dera la nyangumi!! Hivi kati ya hawa nani anachukia mwanga? Mwizi, kahaba na popo? Ee Mungu naomba unipe bunduki lakini nisiitumie*Wewe endelea kujifanya serious udhani kuna mtu atakusifia una hekima! Cheka ndugu yangu

Has it ever struck you as odd that humans are the only creatures on the planet who wear clothes? Everything else, from aardvarks to zebras, is running around in its birthday suit, blissfully unclear of the concept of underpants. Why don't people do the same?
