I haven’t always been against birthdays.

Each one reminds me I’m a year closer to death’s cold embrace.

Besides, my parents always made sure my birthdays were memorable.

You insisted on coming along. I was fine on my own.

I should have known you were behind this.

What part of “no party under the penalty of death” do you not understand?

I believe everyone deserves to be celebrated on their birthday.

Can I at least get some kudos for pulling one over on you?

May your 16th be as sour and misery-filled as your desire. Your ever-doting mother and father.

They asked Thing to hide it before they left on Parents’ Weekend.

I would’ve preferred live squirrels.

And you want to know what the best part is?

We can wear them together to class.

This is far too unique to wear to something like class.

I suggest we wait for a more special occasion, like a funeral.
