26 Candles
Tuesday was my birthday; to celebrate, the BF and I took Monday and Tuesday off work so we could have a long weekend. Nothing says happy birthday like not having to work, after all. Overall, the weekend was great – Lake Champlain, Vermont Cheddar, and Six Flags New England – with one minor exception.
My dad pulled a Sixteen Candles and forgot my birthhday! FORGOT! I’m at a loss - I thought crap like this only happened to Molly Ringwald. I had to call HIM yesterday to remind him.Â
I know that sh*t happens, and that people aren’t perfect. I’ve spaced out about friend’s birthdays before, and once I forgot to wish my mom happy birthday until about 2 hours after I woke up. Sometimes things slip through the cracks. And I know he feels really bad about it now…but he’s my DAD. Shouldn’t he remember my freakin’ birthday? He was there! Shouldn’t my birthday be something that’s at the top of his mind?
I’m totally buggin’, yo.

Happy belated birthday, darlin’.
The parental forgetfulness sucks. My parents forgot mine last year, too. I was piiiiiiiised. It hurt. I suggest guilting him into a big, BIG present of some sort. You’ll both feel better for it.
