It all happened many years ago. You see, I love my birthday. I have always loved my birthday, and I have always been too impatient to wait for opening presents. The year I turned 8, I begged and begged to open a present a day early. My mom was pretty firm that I had to wait, but my 2 sisters took it upon themselves to bring me a beautifully wrapped present. I took the present in my hands, and just couldn't resist. It was so heavy and wonderful, I just had to open it! I could not believe my luck! I hurried and ripped the paper off, opened the box and there it was - a big, heavy, dirty brick that they had found outside. It was even a little wet still because of the April shower (much like today). I was furious. Why, oh why did my birthday have to be the day after April Fool's Day?! And why were my sisters so mean?
The next day I had a great 8th birthday, here I am showing off my new wallet and the money that was inside. And do you see that lovely microscope my sister Alison is holding? That's right, all mine!

I'll never forget that birthday, and if I did my sisters would take it upon themselves to remind me. I was humbled just a little that day, but I still love my birthday (even though I stopped getting older) and occasionally still peek just a little.Happy Birthday to me!!
