Unbirthday

Jet: Is it my birthday?

Mom: No, it's not your birthday. It's your unbirthday.

Jet: It's my unbirthday? Yay. We should make cake for my unbirthday. 

 

Later he told me we should make pizza and cake for his unbirthday. So we made a cake. We made pizza. We blew noisemakers. We sang "A Very Merry Unbirthday." When he asked if there would be presents, my husband pulled out some swag from one of his fairs and put it in a box. We didn't go so far as to wrap it. It wasn't his birthday, after all. It was his unbirthday.

 

We are the Telfords and we love finding reasons to celebrate.  

 

P.S. This was on January 23, Pie Day. Since we were already making pizza pie for dinner, it just all fit... except that we made cake instead of pie for dessert.
