Putting the Fun Back into Adult Birthdays
Spankings, cake, candles… and presents! Don’t forget the presents. Oh, and ignore the snide comments about growing older or people who notice gray hair. Was that a new line I’m seeing the mirror? Birthdays seem to arrive faster and faster each year. For a long time I mostly ignored them. Maybe I had a small dinner with a friend or someone I was dating, but that was about it. However, lately I’m developing a new take on birthdays, one...
