I'm mature for my age. Sort of.

I'll bet many of you thought I was going to turn 30 on Saturday. But no! My niecelet called tonight to wish me a happy birthday, and seagrit prompted her, "Are you going to ask Auntie Mris how old she's going to be?" And Amber said, in that you're-silly-mommy voice kids learn so quickly, "No! She will be five." So okay then. I guess I'm going to be five.

We agreed that 5 and 30 are both Big.

She also wanted her mommy and daddy to "turn it on": she couldn't see me while she was talking to me, and therefore the thing must not be properly turned on. She wanted to show me the ketchup bottle from which her dinner ketchup had come, and how she could run, and how she did the end of "Ring Around the Rosie."

My niecelet is awesome.

Happy early fifth birthday, M'ris!

I totally do not want Strawberry Shortcake-themed plates and napkins this time around.

[zwol.livejournal.com]

I think we can work with that.

[callunav.livejournal.com]

That is most excellent.

Of course, I'm biased in favor of cool niecelets from the start.

I think you will be a fabulous 5/30. And hopefully it will be fabulous back at you.

Without Strawberry Shortcake.

I want a niecelet.

I have a niece, a whole 2 weeks old. I just don't know if she'll be allowed to become my niecelet. :-(

Yah, I know. Good luck. Sigh.

If you and the neicelet's parents each install Skype for FREE on your computer (assuming they are equipped with web cams), then you will be able to have video phone calls FREE with each other in which neicelet can see you and show you her ketchup bottle.

The future. Let me show you it. :-)

Thanks for your enthusiasm, but we were aware, we just hadn't done anything about it. (Starting with buying web cams.)

Cool. Happy almost 5th.

Reminds me that one of my sisters-in-law was born on February 29, 1960, so she just celebrated her 12th birthday this year.

That means her 13th birthday is coming up in just four years! My 13th birthday was one of the best ones. I hope hers is, too.

Awwww, your niecelet sounds awesome! And adorable.

Bonus!

=v= Now you no longer look younger than your age. So feel free to wear the pajamas with feet in them.

Re: Bonus!

Pajamas with feet in them invariably have legs in them as well. So that's No Good. I'm ambivalent enough about trousers when awake; I certainly don't need to subject myself to them in my sleep!

=v= Well, okay then, just the youthful nightshirt then.
