I have taken to responding to, "Happy birthday!" with, "Happy my birthday to you!" I am like the queen in this regard if few others.
It is my birthday tomorrow, and there is to be A Picnic. I am appropriating this reply with great satisfaction. For years I cringed and hoped people wouldn't make a fuss, and now I'm at a point where I view it as an opportunity to actually see people. We need to celebrate ourselves more, says I.
