Annibirthary
Today, some people will celebrate the anniversary of my birth (i.e. my birthday).
I don’t necessarily care for my birthday or any day that results in me garnering additional attention.
As I was sitting around a few days ago I started thinking… “It’s not really my birthday. I only technically had one ‘birthday’ - the day I was born. So…actually, it’s the anniversary of my birth.”
As I thought about this for a little while longer and tried to sing “Happy Anniversary of your birth to you…Happy Anniversary of your birth to you…” something just wasn’t quite right. Then it just popped — it’s not my birthday — it’s the anniversary of my birth… it’s my ANNIBIRTHARY.
From this moment on I will now refer to everyone’s “birthday” as their Annibirthary.
On a side note - my friend Dylan won for the best email of the day, with this:
