Dear Snag,
Thank you for arranging to provide free tickets to a major league game for the Little League coaches. I requested tickets for July 3, which will be my daughter's first birthday. I figured she wouldn't know it's her birthday so I could go to a game. I guess I don’t know my wife as well as I thought. Can you please give me tickets for a different night?

Life is such a minefield of decisions.
Baby's first hot dog and a cute ice cream sundae in a plastic mini batting helmet is not going to cut it?
Gee. Forget one little anniversary and you hear about it forever.
forget a SECOND anniversary, fish, and you will probably stop hearing about it.
And never ask your wife... who has only been a new mother for a month... why people are giving her stuff on Mother's Day...
ouch. He DIDN'T, did he, Jennifer?
OK, I'll bite. Why are they giving you stuff on Mother's Day?

science experiments gone horribly wrong
Our firstborn, although a wonderful and worthwhile addition, did blowup our previous existence in ways not totally expected. If I recall, thinking and reasoning were the first to go.
He felt horrible when he realized... but of course I continued to milk it for YEARS!
but of course I continued to milk it for YEARS!
like now, for example.
As I explained to one of my kids, "What makes you think your birthday is something I want to celebrate?"
My dad says much the same thing about his birthdays.
I haz a birfday story: One day, when I was little (8ish? 11ish? can't begin to recall), I had a birthday, and it was all like so underwhelming in terms of prior birthdays, siblings, and such as that I had big fit.
Then it turned out that there was plenty of presents, they just hadn't been produced yet for some reason I can't recall.
So after that, I was so embarrassed and ashamed I never wanted to have the day mentioned again. In fact, at my latest job they ferret that date out to have like a workday 1/2 hour or so with a cake...but they didn't get mine out of me for 2 years (and then I think it was by cheating).
*heavy sigh - facepalm*

Yes, but we know when it is due to your Tiny Bubbles post. :)
