Today you are 89..

May 14, 2011 you are 89.  " I am not I am 90." You were born in 1922. " I was not you dont know when my birthday was." You were born on Sunday, Mother's Day, May 14, 1922. "Were you there, because I dont think you were?" We go throughout the day, I let people know it's her birthday and she tells them all she is 90, no not quite. " She doesn't know she wasn't there." Mom you think I wouldn't give you a party for your 90th birthday? "No, because I am not having a party am I?"  " I am 90." Mother you have an identification card in your wallet that states your birthdate. " I do not have anything like that, and if you told them the birthdate to put on it, then it is wrong." We get out the identification card, I explain also that my father was two years older and her sister was 3 years older and their birthdates.  " What makes you such a know it all?"
"Why do you think you know so much more than I do?"
People call on the phone and she continues to tell them she is 90.  At the end of the day, she finally says, "Well I guess I have to live another whole damn year to be 90."
Yes mother, another whole damn year!
Happy Birthday!
